Answer 2

The product of given expression is
`36a^2+12ab+b^2`.

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(6a+b)^2`

This expression can be written as

`(6a+b)(6a+b)`

Using distributive property, we get

`6a(6a+b)+b(6a+b)`

`6a(6a)+6a(b)+b(6a)+b(b)`

`36a^2+6ab+6ab+b^2`

`36a^2+12ab+b^2`

Therefore the product of given expression is
`36a^2+12ab+b^2`.
