Answer:

(t + 6)(t - 6)

Explanation:

The law of the difference of 2 squares starts that the difference of two squares is equal to the product of the two numbers and their difference i.e

a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

Therefore,

t^2-36 = t^2-6^2

= (t + 6)(t - 6)

The expression t^2-36 is equivalent to (t + 6)(t - 6).
