Answer:

16

Explanation:

A perfect square trinomial is a three-term polynomial (also called a trinomial) that results from squareing a binomial. Every trinomial of the form:
a^(2) +2ab+b^(2),
It is a perfect square trinomial.

In this case, it is necessary to divide the intermediate value of 8 by 2, and then square it, obtaining the result.
