Answer: m*n terms

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply multiply the variables m and n to get m*n

--------

For example, if there are m = 5 terms for one polynomial and n = 2 terms for another polynomial, then you'll have m*n = 5*2 = 10 terms.

Imagine a table with 5 rows and 2 columns. Each row represents a term of the first polynomial. Each column represents a term of the second polynomial. Each cell in the table is the result of multiplying a row and column header. There are 10 cells for this example.
