Yes, for example sqrt(2) * sqrt(18) = 6.
Note: here sqrt(n) represents the square root (second root) of n.
To simplify this expression we obtain:
sqrt(2) * sqrt(18) = sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) * sqrt(9) = 2 * 3 = 6.
Generally, it is easy to create cases where two or more Irrational Numbers are multiplied to create a rational number using roots. The definition of the root clearly relates it back to rational numbers. This task becomes more difficult and even impossible if certain combinations of numbers are not allowed (e.g. transcendental numbers, no direct roots, etc.).

How do you turn an irrational number in to a rational number?
Some irrational numbers can be multiplied by another irrational number to yield a rational number - for example the square root of 2 is irrational but if you multiply it by itself, you get 2 - which is rational. Irrational roots of numbers can yield rational numbers if they are raised to the appropriate power
Is -6.3 rational or irrational?
-6.3 is rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Is the number -6.7 a rational or irrational number?
Rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Are there more rational numbers than irrational numbers true or false?
In between any two rational numbers there is an irrational number. In between any two irrational numbers there is a rational number.
Is negative pi rational or irrational?
-Pi is irrational, because it does not terminate or repeat. Whenever you multiply an irrational number by a rational number (-1), the result is an irrational number.
