Simplify. ( 2^9 × 3^5 ) × ( 2^4 × 3 )^2 The Choices Are

A. 16^20
B. 6^24
C. 2^13 x 3^7
D. 2^17 x 3^7

According to my study guide the answer is D, but I am unsure how to get to that answer.

Select the correct answer. given: ∆abc with prove: statement reason 1. given 2. ∠cab ≅ ∠edb ∠acb ≅ ∠deb if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent. 3. ∆abc ~ ∆dbe aa criterion for similarity 4. corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. 5. ab = ad + db cb = ce + eb segment addition 6. substitution property of equality 7. division 8. subtraction property of equality what is the missing statement in the proof? scroll down to see the entire proof.
