The equation is
.
Add 180 to each side.
\

The GCF of
is 5, so factor out it.

For a trinomial to be factorable as a perfect square, the first and last terms must be perfect squares and the middle term must be two times the square roots of the first and last terms.
\ 1. Is the first term a perfect square? Yes,
.
2. Is the last term a perfect square? Yes,
.
3. Is the middle term to
? Yes,
.
Since all three conditions are satisfied,
is a perfect square trinomial.
