Rewrite 2^2 as 2 * 2 and 3^2 as 3 * 3. Then multiply.

180

Practice makes perfect
The expression 2^2, or 2 to the second power, can be written as the product of two 2 terms. Similarly, the expression 3^2, or 3 to the second power, can be written as the product of two 3 terms.
2^2 * 3^2 * 5
2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5
180
The prime factorization 2^2*3^2*5 represents the number 180.
