The length of the flagpole is x - 5 yards
How to determine the length of the flagpole?
The area of the flagpole is given as:
Area = x^2 - 10x + 25
Expand the expression
Area = x^2 - 5x -5x + 25
Factorize the expression
Area = (x - 5)(x - 5)
Express as squares
Area =(x - 5)^2
The area of a square is
Area = Length^2
So, we have:
Length = x - 5
Hence, the length of the flagpole is x - 5 yards
