Question 11

An architect is designing a modern sculpture consisting of two cubes. The volume of the larger cube is exactly 7 times the volume of the smaller cube. Let L L\,L represent the ratio of the side length of the larger cube to the side length of the smaller cube, such that L=73L = \sqrt[3]{7}L=37​.

Prove by contradiction that L L\,L is an irrational number.
