Anyway... as we hopefully recall, FOIL is all about first, outside, inside, last...
- 00:21
and in this case we just multiply the stuff in parentheses... by itself.
- 00:26
We get quantity 2a plus 6 times 2a plus 6.
- 00:30
So the 2a times 2a gets us 4a squared.
- 00:33
Then the outsides are 2a times 6, which is 12a... we add this to the insides, which are
- 00:38
2a times 6 for a total of 24a.
- 00:41
The end is 6 times 6 which is 36...
- 00:43
So the answer is E.
