Answer: H. 33

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

Work Shown:

Solve 5m^2 = 45 for m to get

5m^2 = 45

m^2 = 45/5

m^2 = 9

m = sqrt(9)

m = 3

I'm making m to be positive so that way the expression 12m is not negative. Otherwise, sqrt(12m) would not be a real number result.

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

Plug m = 3 into the expression we want to evaluate

m^3 + sqrt(12m)

3^3 + sqrt(12*3)

27 + sqrt(36)

27 + 6

33
