Answer: If by m you mean meters and not a variable, then you get 4 for the length of the sides. If you mean m as a variable, then the answer is 2m

Step-by-step explanation: First simplify the equation by squaring 4. This gives you the area, which is 16. Then take the square root of 16 to get the area, which is 4. If m is a variable in the equation then you must take the square root of (4m^2) and the answer you get for the side length you get is 2m
