Inventory Guide: Factoring Verification

A lead inventory specialist at a logistics firm is creating a 'Quick Reference Guide' to help staff quickly calculate the dimensions of square storage containers using factoring shortcuts. The guide explains how to identify if a trinomial expression of the form a2+2ab+b2a^2 + 2ab + b^2 (or a22ab+b2a^2 - 2ab + b^2) fits the Perfect Square Trinomials Pattern. Based on the standard rules for this shortcut, what are the three specific checks the specialist should include in the guide to verify that a trinomial follows this pattern?
