Given Data:

The perimeater of the square is: p=16

Let 'a' be the length of one side of the given square.

The expression to calculate the perimeter of a square is,


P=4a

Substitute values in the above expression, and solve for 'a'.


\begin{gathered} 16=4* a \\ 4a=16 \\ a=(16)/(4) \\ a=4 \end{gathered}

Thus, the lenth of one side of the square is 4 units.
