Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two radicals: √3 and √2

To find:

the best description of the two radical expressions

a) Perfect squares are numbers that can be written as the product of itself

The given numbers are radicals and their roots give a decimal not a whole number. Hence, they are not perfect squares

b) √3 and √2 give two different results
