Question 96564: We have to classificate each number as either a natural number, whole number, integers,rational number, terminating decimal or irrational number.
The ones I have trouble in are the ones that are square roots. For example what would the square root of 49 be? am I classificating the number 7, or am I supposed to classificate it as a square root? I'm so confused
Thank you for your time

sqrt(4) is rational
sqrt(5) is irrational
sqrt(6) is irrational
sqrt(7) is irrational
sqrt(8) is irrational
sqrt(9) is rational
...
sqrt(49) is rational
