The product of 36−−√
and 12
will result in the type of number described by Option #

Answer 1

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.
