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.

Can the square of an irrational number be rational?

The answer to this question confuses me. The square root of two is an irrational number, so obviously if the square root of two is squared it becomes two which is a rational number. Thinking of it that way then the answer is yes, the square of an irrational number can be a rational number. But . . . You had to know beforehand that the irrational number was the square root of another number. If you start out with an irrational number such as Pi you cannot square it because you cannot know the entire number in order to square it.

The square root of 25 is 5. 5 is a rational number. A rational number is a whole integer, like 3 or 5 or -8. Also, 4.333333... is a rational number because we know exactly what the number is. We know the number is 4 and 1/3, nothing more, nothing less. An irrational number is a number that goes on and on, with no specific pattern. A famous irrational number is pi. 3.14159....... Another example would be 453.788192742917471085723.......... Or 2.10100100010000100000........

Is 1.1 rational or irrational?

Rational!!!! Casually, any decimal that can be converted to a fraction/ratio is Rational. 1.1 = 1 1/10 = 11/10 Irrational numbers are those that cannot be converted to a fraction/ration. The most well known IRRATIONAL number is 'pi = 3.141592....' Irrational numbers are those were the decimals go to infinity AND the decimal digits are not in any regular order. Rational ; 1/3 = 0.3333.... Irrational ; sqrt(2) = 1.414213562....
