It can be, but need not be.

[sqrt(5)+sqrt(2)] and [sqrt(5)-sqrt(2)] are both irrational. Their product is 5-2 = 3.

The two numbers are conjugates of one another and the property that their product is an integer is used to rationalise denominator of surds.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
