If the question is supposed to be %289+%2B+sqrt%286%29%29%5E2, see section 1.
If the question is supposed to be 9+%2B+sqrt%286%29%5E2, see section 2.
If the question is supposed to be 9+%2B+sqrt%286%5E2%29, see the answer for section 2.
Section 1:
%289+%2B+sqrt%286%29%29%5E2=
%289+%2B+sqrt%286%29%29%289+%2B+sqrt%286%29%29
Expand this by the FOIL method =
9+%2A+9+%2B+9sqrt%286%29+%2B+9sqrt%286%29+%2B+%28sqrt%286%29+%2A+sqrt%286%29%29 =
81+%2B+18sqrt%286%29+%2B+6 =
87+%2B+18sqrt%286%29
FINAL ANSWER FOR SECTION 1: 87+%2B+18sqrt%286%29
Section 2:
9+%2B+sqrt%286%29%5E2 =
9+%2B+6 =
15
FINAL ANSWER FOR SECTION 2: 15
