Answer 1

To determine the type of number that results from the product of \(\sqrt{36}\) and \(12\), let's first calculate the product.

1. Calculate \(\sqrt{36}\): \[ \sqrt{36} = 6 \]

2. Now, calculate the product of \(6\) and \(12\): \[ 6 \times 12 = 72 \]

The result of the product is \(72\), which is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct answer is rational.
