### Instruction: What is the value of the expression $(25 + 8)^2 - (8^2 +25^2)$?### Response: I notice that this expression has the form $(a + b)^2 - (a^2 + b^2)$, where $a = 25$ and $b = 8$.
I recall that $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$, so I can rewrite the expression as $(a^2 + 2ab + b^2) - (a^2 + b^2)$.
Then I can cancel out the $a^2$ and $b^2$ terms and simplify to get $2ab$.
