Hank is incorrect because not all square roots are rational.
In this case, the square root of 25 (which is 5) is rational, but the reasoning provided by Hank is flawed because it implies that all square roots are inherently rational. Not all square roots yield rational numbers, as can be seen with numbers that are not perfect squares (for example, √2 and √3 are irrational).
