Answer

$891$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=33\cdot 27$ $27$ is $3$ less than $30$, while $33$ is $3$ more than $30$. Write as product of difference and sum. $=(30+3)(30-3)$ Use sum and difference pattern $(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2$. We have $a=30$ and $b=3$. $=30^2-3^2$ Simplify. $=900-9$ Hence, the product is $891$.
