To solve the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 16x + 64 = 0 \) using the perfect square trinomial pattern, we first recognize that the left side can be factored.

The expression \( x^2 - 16x + 64 \) can be rewritten as:

\[
(x - 8)^2 = 0
\]

Now, we set the factored equation equal to zero:

\[
(x - 8)^2 = 0
\]

Next, we can take the square root of both sides:

\[
x - 8 = 0
\]

Finally, solving for \( x \) gives:

\[
x = 8
\]

Thus, the solution to the equation \( x^2 - 16x + 64 = 0 \) is:

\[
\text{Response: } x = 8
\]
