Factoring Requirements for Storage Layouts

A warehouse manager is calculating the dimensions of a square storage area represented by the algebraic expression x2+12xy+36y2x^2 + 12xy + 36y^2. To factor this trinomial into two identical binomials and find the side length, the manager must identify a specific pair of factors for the constant 36. According to the two-variable trinomial factoring strategy, what are the two numerical conditions (one involving multiplication and one involving addition) that this factor pair must satisfy in relation to the values 36 and 12?
