To find the missing constant term, we want to think about what two numbers would add up to 2. Of the numbers we've thought of, we want to find the numbers that are the same. In this case, that would be 1 and 1. If we multiply, or square, 1 and 1 together, we get 1. So, the missing constant term in the perfect square given here would be 1.

Hope this helps!! :)
