Answer

$4a^2+12a+4ab+6b+b^2+9$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ (or the Square of a binomial), the given expression, $ [3+(2a+b)]^2 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 3^2+2(3)(2a+b)+(2a+b)^2 \\\\= 9+12a+6b+(2a+b)^2 \\\\= 9+12a+6b+(2a)^2+2(2a)(b)+(b)^2 \\\\= 9+12a+6b+4a^2+4ab+b^2 \\\\= 4a^2+12a+4ab+6b+b^2+9 .\end{array}
