Answer: Rational

Explanation:

THREE WAYS TO DETERMINE:

If the number given is an integer, it is rational.

If the number given is fraction, it is rational.

If the number given is decimal, as long as it is terminating or repetitive decimal, it is rational. (Because then you can write it as a fraction which leads to the second point)

----------------------------------------------------------

Square root of 3600=60

60

It is an integer, which fits the first point

So, it is rational

Hope this helps!! :)
