AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
the area and volume are also rational.
The diagonal will be irrational: a√2

The diagonal will be irrational: a√2
Apologies for the incorrect response. You are absolutely right.
The diagonal of one of the cube's faces will require the use of irrational numbers, specifically the length of the diagonal will be expressed as a√2, which is irrational. Thank you for catching that mistake.
