Answer: 8 meters

Explanation:

Area of a square = 64 meters squared

Initially, the two lengths of the square have been multiplied together, to get the number 64 meters squared.

Let's say the length of the square = x

x, has been squared and resulted in 64

This means we need to do the opposite of squaring, to solve for x, our length.

The opposite of the square is the square root.

If we extract the square root of 64, we will get the number 8.

Each side of the square equals 8

Length = 8 meters
