What type of number will result from the product of 36−−√

To find the product of \( \sqrt{36} \) and 12, we first calculate \( \sqrt{36} \).

\[
\sqrt{36} = 6
\]

Now, we multiply this result by 12:

\[
6 \times 12 = 72
\]

The result, 72, is a rational number.

Thus, the type of number resulting from the product of \( \sqrt{36} \) and 12 is **rational**.
