To find the product of 12 and 56, we first calculate 12:

12=4×3=4×3=23

Now, we multiply 23 by 56:

23×56=1123

Next, we can approximate 3 to calculate 1123:

31.732

Therefore,

1123112×1.732193.184

So, the approximate value of the product is 193.184, which is not listed in your options and does not match any of the provided decimal numbers. However, the product 1123 is indeed an irrational number since it involves the square root of 3.

If we strictly need to select from the provided options, it seems there is a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the question, as none of those options accurately reflect the product of 5612.
