= color(blue)(81 +9sqrt10)

Explanation:

(sqrt10 + 1)(8sqrt10 +1)

=color(blue)((sqrt10 . 8sqrt10) + (sqrt(10).1)) + color(red)((1 . 8sqrt10) + (1.1))
= color(blue)(80 +sqrt10) + color(red)(8sqrt10 +1

Grouping like terms:
color(blue)(80 +1) + color(red)(sqrt10 +8sqrt10)
= color(blue)(81 +9sqrt10)
