If the square root of a natural number is not an integer, then it is irrational. Another way to look at it: if a natural number N falls between two perfect squares, then the square root of N is irrational.So in this case, 12 is between 9 (3 squared) and 16 (4 squared). So the square root of 12 is between 3 and 4, and also the square root of 12 is irrational.
The number 12 is a natural number, a whole number, an integer, and a rational number. A natural number is a positive integer starting from 1, which includes 12. Whole numbers include all natural numbers along with zero, so 12 is also a whole number. Integers include all whole numbers along with their negatives, making 12 an integer. Lastly, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction, and 12 can be written as 12/1, making it a rational number.
3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25, which terminates, so it is a rational number.
