STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Transmitted: 300 Watt --> 300 Watt No Conversion Required
Resistivity: 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter --> 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Underground AC Wire: 24 Meter --> 24 Meter No Conversion Required
Line Losses: 2.67 Watt --> 2.67 Watt No Conversion Required
Maximum Voltage Underground AC: 230 Volt --> 230 Volt No Conversion Required
Phase Difference: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = (P^2)*2*ρ*L/(P_loss*(V_m^2)*(cos(Φ)^2)) --> (300^2)*2*1.7E-05*24/(2.67*(230^2)*(cos(0.5235987755982)^2))

Evaluating ... ...

A = 0.00069327329495975

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00069327329495975 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00069327329495975 ≈ 0.000693 Square Meter <-- Area of Underground AC Wire
