To classify the expression \(\sqrt{12} - 2\) as rational or irrational, we need to analyze the components of the expression.<br /><br />1. \(\sqrt{12}\) is an irrational number because the square root of a non-perfect square is irrational.<br />2. 2 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction (2/1).<br /><br />The sum or difference of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational. Therefore, \(\sqrt{12} - 2\) is an irrational number.<br /><br />So, the correct answer is:<br />Irrational
