Fill in the Blank

A precision machinist is calculating the area of a square component with a side length of `9−210{}9 - 2\sqrt{10} millimeters. To find the area, the machinist expands 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. After calculating and combining the numerical constant terms a2a^2 and b2b^2, the resulting constant value in the simplified expression is ____.
