Fill in the Blank

A general contractor is estimating the square footage of a rectangular storage area on a commercial job site. The dimensions of the storage area are given as (6x+5)(6x + 5) feet by (6x5)(6x - 5) feet. To quickly write a simplified algebraic expression for the total area, the contractor recalls the Product of Conjugates pattern: (a+b)(ab)=a2b2(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2. By applying this pattern, the simplified algebraic expression for the area is ____. (Note: Format your answer using the caret ^ for exponents with or without spaces, such as 9x^2 - 16 or 9x^2-16. Do not include any units in your answer.)
