Answer

$38+12\sqrt{10}$

Work Step by Step

Using the square of a binomial which is given by $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ or by $(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2,$ the given expression, $ (2\sqrt{5}+3\sqrt{2})^2 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} & (2\sqrt{5})^2+2(2\sqrt{5})(3\sqrt{2})+(3\sqrt{2})^2 \\&= 4(5)+12\sqrt{10}+9(2) \\&= 20+12\sqrt{10}+18 \\&= (20+18)+12\sqrt{10} \\&= 38+12\sqrt{10} .\end{align*} Hence, the product of the given expression is $ 38+12\sqrt{10} $.
