\text{Hey there!}


\text{(a + 2)(a + 2)}


\text{In order for you to solve this, you need to DISTRIBUTE}


\text{a(a) = a}^2


\text{a(2) = 2a}


\text{2(a) = 2a}


\text{2(2) = 4}


\text{Next, combine your like terms: 2a \& 2a}


\text{2a + 2a = 4a}


\text{Everything else stays the same because they aren't like terms}


\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Thus,\ your\ answer\ is:a^2+4a+4}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
