Proof: The square roots of non perfect squares are irrational Let's assume the square roots of non perfect squares are rational and then disprove it c and c+1 are the roots of two perfect squares think c=3 and c+1=4 3^2 and 4^2 we're trying to say that the square roots of all numbers between 3^2 and 4^2 are irrational. Anyway carrying on a is a rational number between c and c+1: c
