For finding the side length of perimeter, all you do is take the perimeter and divide it by how many sides you have.
Since this is a square with 4 sides it would be:
32/4=8

32/4 is exactly 8. So each side in our square is 8. Therefore if a square has a PERIMETER of 32 then its total AREA is exactly 64.
