#24*\sqrt(5)#

Explanation:

#\sqrt(45)*\sqrt(64)#

Write both numbers as a product of prime numbers .
(unique factorization).

#45=5*9=5*3*3#
#64=2*32=2*2*16=2*2*2*8=2*2*2*2*4=#
#=2*2*2*2*2*2=2^6#

#\sqrt(45)*\sqrt(64)=#

#=\sqrt(5*3*3)*\sqrt(2^6)=#

#=\sqrt(5*3^2)*2^(6/2)=#

#=\sqrt(5)*\sqrt(3^2)*2^3=#

#=\sqrt(5)*3*8=#

#=24*\sqrt(5)#
