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."
To find the product of 12−−√ and 56, we can multiply the two numbers together.
12−−√ * 56 = 67.8823 . . .
The product is 67.8823 . . .
Since the result is a decimal that does not terminate or repeat, it is an irrational number. Therefore, the answer is: 67.8823 . . . ; an irrational number.
