Answer:

Explanation:

I hope you want the area.

Area = L * W

L = 24x^3

W = 5x^2

Area = 24x^3 * 5x^2

Area = 120 * x^(3 + 2)

Area = 120 * x^5

Note

When you multiply numbers or letters that have powers, if the base for both of them is the same, the powers are added.

The above answer is an example x^2 * x ^3 are letters (x) that are raised to the 2nd power and the 3rd power. You add the powers.

Numbers can do the same thing

  • 2^5 * 2^3 = 2^8
  • 2*8 = 256
  • 2^5 = 64
  • 2^3 = 8

64 * 8 = 256
