Answer

$49+12\sqrt{13}$

Work Step by Step

Using the square of a binomial which is given by $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ or by $(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2,$ the given expression, $ (\sqrt{13}+6)^2 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} & (\sqrt{13})^2+2(\sqrt{13})(6)+(6)^2 \\&= 13+12\sqrt{13}+36 \\&= (13+36)+12\sqrt{13} \\&= 49+12\sqrt{13} .\end{align*} Hence, the product of the given expression is $ 49+12\sqrt{13} $.
