Matching

A manufacturing engineer is analyzing the surface area of a square metal plate, which is given by the expression 9x^2 + 12x + 4. To factor this into the side-length format (a + b)^2, match each component of the expression to its role in the perfect square trinomial pattern: a^2 + 2ab + b^2.
