Yes - see below. (But the reverse is not true).

p is rational so p = x/y where x and y are integers.

x is an integer so x*x is an integer, and y is an integer so y*y is an integer.

So p2 = (x/y)2 = x2/y2 is a ratio of two integers and so is rational.

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.).
