Final answer:

Squaring 43 gives 1,849, and multiplying that by 40 gives a total of 73,960 strawberries on the farm. The provided answer options do not include the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the total number of strawberries on a farm, given the expression (43)2 · 40. To calculate this, we need to square 43 and then multiply the result by 40. Squaring 43 means multiplying 43 by itself, and 43 × 43 equals 1,849. Next, we multiply 1,849 by 40. Therefore, the total number of strawberries on the farm is 1,849 × 40, which equals 73,960.
