Answer

False. Middle term, twice the product of the expression being squared in the first and last terms is missing. $x^{2}+12x+36 = (x+6)^{2}$

Work Step by Step

$(x+6)^{2} $ is the perfect square trinomial. Using the formula, $ A^{2}+ 2.A.B+B^{2} =(A+B)^{2}$ $x^{2}+ 2.x.6+6^{2} =(x+6)^{2}$ $x^{2}+ 12x+36 =(x+6)^{2}$
