1. The problem is to evaluate the expression $[(32 + 8) \cdot (32 - 8)]$.
2. This expression uses the difference of squares formula: $ (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2 $.
3. Here, $a = 32$ and $b = 8$.
4. Applying the formula:
$$ (32 + 8)(32 - 8) = 32^2 - 8^2 $$
5. Calculate each square:
$$ 32^2 = 1024 $$
$$ 8^2 = 64 $$
6. Substitute back:
$$ 1024 - 64 = 960 $$
7. Therefore, the value of the expression is $960$.
