Answer 1

To find the product of 12−−√ and 56, you can calculate:

√12 x 56 = √(12 x 56) = √672.

Simplifying further, you can find that the square root of 672 is approximately 25.98.

Therefore, the product of 12−−√ and 56 is approximately 25.98.

Since 25.98 is not a rational number (it cannot be expressed as a fraction), the answer is an irrational number.

So, the correct answer is "25.98; an irrational number."
