Khan

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(x -5) meters

Explanation:

We assume the area is supposed to be ...

A = s^2 = x^2 -10x +25

This is a perfect square trinomial, so can be factored as ...

A = s^2 = (x -5)^2

Then the side length can be represented by the expression ...

s = (x -5) . . . . meters
