True/False

A facility manager at a shipping center uses the expression 1000m3−125n3{}1000m^3 - 125n^3 to represent the difference in volume between two cubic containers. To factor this expression using the difference of cubes identity a3−b3=(a−b)(a2+ab+b2)a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2), the manager identifies a=10ma = 10m and b=5nb = 5n. True or False: In this algebraic pattern, the middle term of the trinomial factor (abab) is equal to 50mn{}50mn.
