You forgot to distribute the 5 too

4a times 4a is not `16a`
Pixel:
4x4=16
dude:
Yes, and what is a x a?
Pixel:
a^2?

\((\color{red}{4a+}5)(4a+5)\) You already distributed the 4a so now just do the five like if you were doing
\(5(4a+5)\)
Pixel:
20a+25
dude:
Yep so you have
\(16a^2+20a+20a+25\)
Combine like terms
Pixel:
16a^2+40a+25
dude:
Yep and your B term has an `a` That should give you a hint to what it is

so the answer is B=16a^2+40a+25?
dude:
No, look at the question and compare it to what you just got, what is missing?
Pixel:
Deh B term?
dude:
\(16a^2+Ba+25\)
