Hello.
Can someone show me the step by step method to multiply a 5x5 matrix?

Here, I am required to use boolean algebra, so the answer will end up only having 0 and 1.

Let's take the (1,4) entry …

you combine the 1st row of the 1st matrix with the 4th column of the second matrix:

(0 1 1 0 0) and (0 1 0 0 1) …

that's 0*0 + 1*1 + 1*0 + 0*0 + 0*1 = 1 :wink:

ok, now you try some of the others, and show us what you get (or where you're stuck) :smile:

Have you seen the following method for visualizing the multiplication? It should help you to understand how to do matrix multiplication in general. Now please show your work -- you know that you need to show effort before we should offer tutorial help on schoolwork...
