4cm. Since all sides of the square is equal in length, and the formula for area is base and width are the same, the equation will be x time x = 16. x times x equals x squared. So x squared =16. Square root of 16 is 4.

Area = Length x Length

Length² = 16

Length = √16

Length = 4

Answer: Length = 4cm
