The length of the flagpole is x - 5 yards
Area of a square
The formula for calculating the area of the flagpole is expressed as:
A = L²
Given that;
A = x² - 10 + 25
Factorize
A = x² - 5x - 5x + 25
A =(x - 5) - 5(x - 5)
A = (x-5)²
Compare
L = x - 5 yards
Hence the length of the flagpole is x - 5 yards
