Hank is incorrect because not all square roots are rational. Specifically, while the square root of a perfect square (like 25) is rational (since √25 = 5), the square root of a number that is not a perfect square (like 2 or 3) is not rational. Therefore, his statement about square roots being rational is not universally true.

is rational because it is a square root. Why is he incorrect?(1 point)
