A perfect square is a rational number that is equal to the square of another rational number; 9 is a perfect square because it is a rational number that is the square of 3, another rational number.A polynomial that is the square of another polynomial is also a perfect square; x2 - 8x + 16 is a perfect square because it is the square of the polynomial x - 4.
It is a rational number - as are ALL perfect squares.
It can be. 7 is a non-perfect square and, being an integer, it is rational.
The mathematical term 'perfect square' means that a number, which has a rational number as its square root. 25 is a perfect square, because its square root is 5, a rational number.
Assuming your number is an integer: if the number is a perfect square, the number is of course an integer, and therefore rational. If the number is NOT a perfect square, it is irrational.
No. Though every perfect square is a rational number, not every rational number is a perfect square. Example: 2 is a rational number but sqrt(2) is not rational, so 2 is not a perfect square.

Oh, dude, you're talking about squaring a rational number! When you multiply a rational number by itself, you're just squaring it, which means you're multiplying it by itself. It's like saying "Hey, rational number, let's double date with yourself!" So, the product of a rational number multiplied by itself is just that number squared.

It is rational. The root of a perfect square, such as 4, is rational; the root of any positive integer that is not a perfect square is an irrational number.

A perfect square is a rational number that is the square of another rational number. 9, 16, 25, etc., are perfect squares of 3, 4, 5, etc., and X2 + 6X + 9 is a perfect square of (X + 3).
A perfect square.
A perfect square is a rational number equal to the square of a whole number.
If the whole number is a perfect square, its square root is rational. If not, it's not.
