The product of 36−−√
and 1/2
will result in the type of number described by Option #

Answer 1

To find the product of \( \sqrt{36} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \), let's first simplify \( \sqrt{36} \).

\[ \sqrt{36} = 6 \]

Now, we can multiply:

\[ 6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 3 \]

The result \( 3 \) is a rational number.

Thus, the type of number will be described by the option rational.
