#42.25%#

Explanation:

Prob(makes first free throw)#=65%#
Prob(makes second given first made)#=65%# (they are independent events)

Prob(makes first and second)# = # Prob(makes first) #xx# Prob(makes second given first)

#color(white)("XXXXXXXXXXXXXX")=65%xx65%#

#color(white)("XXXXXXXXXXXXXX")=42.25%#
