Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex](a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b)[/tex]

[tex](a+b)^2=a^2+ab+ba+b^2[/tex] By distributive property (F.O.I.L.)

[tex](a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2[/tex] Combined like terms

[tex](a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab[/tex] Commutative property of addition

[tex](a+b)^2=16+2(8)[/tex] Substituted values given

[tex](a+b)^2=16+16[/tex]

[tex](a+b)^2=32[/tex]
