Yes, the square root of 48 is an irrational number. This is because 48 can be simplified to (4 \times 12), and since the square root of 4 is a whole number (2), we can express (\sqrt{48}) as (2\sqrt{12}). The square root of 12, however, is not a perfect square and cannot be simplified to a whole number, making (\sqrt{48}) irrational.
