Answer:

It is irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that 2+√3 is a rational number.

A rational number can be written in the form of p/q.

2+√3=p/q

√3=p/q-2

√3=(p-2q)/q  

p,q are integers then (p-2q)/q is a rational number.

But this contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number.

So, our assumption is false.

Therefore,2+√3 is an irrational number.
