Answer:

If you're asking what the perimeter is:

C 32cm

If you're asking what the length of a side is:

A 8cm

Explanation:

Area of a square is calculated by length x width.

And all four sides of a square are equal in length.

Area: 8cm×8cm=64cm2

Perimeter: 8cm + 8cm + 8cm + 8cm= 32cm

Another way to find the length of the sides would be to take the square root of 64. I believe that only works with the area of a square though.

√(64)=8
