Answer:

14.25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square= [tex]l*b= (x-3)(x-3)=x^{2}-3x-3x+9=x^{2}-6x+9[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}-6x+9=126.5625[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}-6x-117.5625[/tex]

Solving the equation using quadratic equation then as attached

x=14.25 units

To prove

x-3=14.25-3= 11.25 units

area=11.25*11.25=126.5625 sq units
