The expression can be factored as (a+8)(a+2). So, k = 2 * 8 = 16.
Therefore, the value of k is 16.

The expression \(a^2 + 10a + 16\) factors into \((a + 8)(a + 2)\) when factored. Therefore, in the form \(a + 8a + k\), the value of k would be 2 (since the factors are \((a + 8)(a + 2)\)).
Therefore, the value of k is \(2\).
So, the correct answer is 2.
