To determine if \( \sqrt{36} + 9 \) is irrational, we first calculate \( \sqrt{36} \).
\[
\sqrt{36} = 6
\]
Now we can add 9:
\[
6 + 9 = 15
\]
The result, \( 15 \), is a rational number (it can be expressed as the fraction \( \frac{15}{1} \)).
Thus, \( \sqrt{36} + 9 \) is not irrational; it is a rational number.
