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 2 - 6x + 9 yd². Area of the flagpole plot: x2 - 6x +9 100 yards The length of the base of the flagpole is yards. 100 yards Find the length of the base of the flagpole by factoring.
