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 Wire DC: 3.2 Meter --> 3.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Line Losses: 0.6 Watt --> 0.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Maximum Voltage: 60 Volt --> 60 Volt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = 2*(P^2)*ρ*l/(P_line*(V_m^2)) --> 2*(300^2)*1.7E-05*3.2/(0.6*(60^2))

Evaluating ... ...

A = 0.00453333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00453333333333333 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00453333333333333 ≈ 0.004533 Square Meter <-- Area of underground dc wire
