Respuesta :

equal to 12 is the answer


Answer:

The correct option is A) It is rational and equal to 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The provided expression is:

[tex]\sqrt{2} (3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{18})[/tex]

Further simplify the above expression.

[tex]\sqrt{2} (3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2\times\ 3 \times3})[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{2} (3\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2})[/tex]

Now, use the distributive property: [tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]

[tex]3\sqrt{2}\times {\sqrt{2}} +3\sqrt{2}\times{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

[tex]3\times{2}+3\times{2}[/tex]

[tex]6+6[/tex]

[tex]12[/tex]

As 12 is a rational number. Thus, the correct option is A) It is rational and equal to 12.
