True/False

A landscape design assistant is calculating the area of a square courtyard to order paving stones. The side length of the courtyard is 9−210{}9 - 2\sqrt{10} meters. To find the area, the assistant must expand the expression (9−210)2(9 - 2\sqrt{10})^2 using the Binomial Squares Pattern: (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. True or False: In this expansion, the term representing b2b^2 simplifies to exactly 40.
