Now, According to given question,

x

2

−8x=180

⇒x

2

−8x−180=0

⇒x

2

−(18−10)x−180=0

⇒x

2

−18x+10x−180=0

⇒x(x−18)+10(x−18)=0

⇒(x−18)(x+10)=0

⇒x−18=0,x+10=0

⇒x=18,x=−10

⇒x=−10,18

Either

x=−10 and x=18

x=18 is true (Positive value)

Now, square of small number

=18x=18×8=144

144

=12
