Think of their prime factorizations. A squared number will always have paired prime factors. When they have no prime factors in common, like 4 (2 x 2) and 9 (3 x 3), the LCM will be their product, 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 or 36 (6 squared). When they have prime factors in common, like 36 (2 x 2 x 3 x 3) and 225 (3 x 3 x 5 x 5), the LCM will still have paired factors: 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 or 900 (30 squared)

Does there exist an irrational number such that its square root is rational?

No, and I can prove it: -- The product of two rational numbers is always a rational number. -- If the two numbers happen to be the same number, then it's the square root of their product. -- Remember ... the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number. -- So the square of a rational number is always a rational number. -- So the square root of an irrational number can't be a rational number (because its square would be rational etc.).
