Question

$\sqrt{30}$ is a surd.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

A number that can't be simplified to remove a square root (or cube root etc) is called a surd.

We can write $30$ as $3\times 2\times 5$.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{30}=\sqrt{3\times 2\times 5}$

Since, it can't be simplified further, it is a surd.
