Hank is incorrect because not all square roots are rational.
The square root of 25, as in this case, is rational (since it equals 5), but it is indeed true that not all square roots result in a rational number. For example, the square root of 2 is irrational. Therefore, Hank's statement is not accurate as a generalization.
