ANSWER
YES
EXPLANATION
We want to know if the square root of 224 is an irrational number.
An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction/ratio of two integers.
If we simplify the square root of 224:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt{224}\text{ = }\sqrt{16\cdot\text{ 28}}\text{ = 4}\sqrt{28} \\ \text{ }\Rightarrow\text{ 21.166010488}\ldots \end{gathered}[/tex]As we can see, this number cannot be written as a fraction of two numbers.
As a rule, the square root of any number that is not a perfect square is an irrational number.
So, the answer is Yes. It is an irrational number
