When I evaluate (24)2 ⋅ 20 I come up with 960. And none of those answers match do you have it listed correctly?

Yes I listed it correctly, I think she wants me to put it into that form but idk how

What form?

To find the total number of books in the cupboard, we need to perform the given calculation:

(24)2 ⋅ 20

First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: 24 squared. To find the square of 24, multiply 24 by itself:

24 * 24 = 576

Now we can substitute the result into our original expression:

576 * 20 = 11,520

Therefore, the total number of books in the cupboard is 11,520.
