State whether the given statement is true/false:

$\sqrt{9}$ is an irrational number.

 A number 's' is called an irrational number if it cannot be written in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

$\sqrt{9}=\sqrt{3\times 3}=3$

Since 3 can be written as 3/1, therefore $\sqrt{9}$ is a rational number.

Hence, the given statement is False.
