First we simplify the radicals in the parenthesis. 

\(\sqrt{5} = \sqrt{5}\)

\(\sqrt{45} = 3\sqrt{5}\)

\(\sqrt{125} = 5\sqrt{5}\)

\(\sqrt{80}=4\sqrt{5}\)

 

Since we are adding up the radicals, our new expression is:

\((\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{5} +5\sqrt{5}+ 4\sqrt{5})^2\)

 

Simplifying we get:

\((13\sqrt{5})^2\)

 

This simplifies to:

845 which is the answer.
