Expert Answer:
Dear student,
Any square number can be written as sum of odd numbers
Ex: 4=1+3, 9=1+3+5, 16= 1+3+5+7. ==> n2 = 1+3+5+.....+(2n-1) , 6 can not be written as sum of odd number s as shown previously. so, square root of 6 is not an rational number .
This is kind of indirect proof . Consider it for time being.
