prove (5-2 root3)2 = 25-20root 3+12=p/q consider it as rational first
but solving it we get that root 3 could be represented as rational but it is irrational number thus our assumption that (5-2 root 3)2was wrong and hence it is irrational

We will prove it in a same way as we prove that √3 is an irrational number..
Let us assume that (5−2√3)2 is a rational number.
Then (5−2√3)2=pq where p and q are co-prime.
=> 25−2×5×2√3+(2√3)2=pq [by using (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2
25−20√3+4×3=pq
25−20√3+12=pq
37−20√3=pq
37+pq=20√3
3720+p20q=√3
Clearly L.H.S. is a sum of two rational number and therefore L.H.S is rational.
So √3 is a rational number.
But we know that √3 is an irrational number.So our assumption is wrong.
Hence (5−2√3)2is an irrational number.
