Can a prime number be a perfect square?

No.


Will the square root of a prime number be rational or irrational?

Nice question! The square root of (any number that isn't a perfect square) is irrational. No prime number is a perfect square. So the square root of any prime number is irrational.


No prime number can be a perfect square True or false?

True. By definition, a prime number is divisible by one and by itself. Also by definition, a perfect square has at least an additional pair of factors - it's square root. Therefore a prime number could never be a perfect square. One exception that might come to mind in this case is the number one. One however, is not considered a prime number, and thus does not conflict with this rule.


What is a square even and prime number?

There is not a number that is square, even, and prime. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 and itself. The only even prime number is 2, because all other even numbers are, by definition, divisible by 2, which means they have more than two factors and thus cannot be prime. A square number is the product of multiplying a number by itself, so the number which is multiplied by itsefl to create a square number is a factor of that number, meaning it has more than two factors, so it cannot be prime. A prime number cannot be even (except for the number 2) and cannot be a square number. A square number can be an even number, but can also be an odd number.
