The length of the flagpole is x - 5  yards

How to determine the length of the flagpole?

The complete question is in the image

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
