A school is installing a flagpole in the central plaza. The plaza is a square with side length 100 yards as shown in the figure below. The flagpole will take up a square plot in the middle of the plaza and its base will have an area of x2−8x+16 yd2.

The Length of the base of the flagpole is : x- 3

Given data :

Area of the flagpole plot ( length of the base )² = x² -6x + 9

Determine the length of the base of the flagpole

Given that the area =  x² - 6x + 9

Expanding the given function

x² - 3x - 3x + 9

Factoring the equation

x ( x - 3 ) - 3 ( x - 3 )

Therefore the root of the equation ( i.e. length of the base of the flagpole ) = ( x - 3 )

Hence we can conclude that the length of the  base of the flagpole is :

x - 3
