The side length of the square is 10 m.

The formula to find the area of a square is Area = side length x side length. Given that the area is 100 m2, we need to find the side length.

Substituting the given value of area into the formula, we have 100 = s x s.

To solve for s, we take the square root of both sides of the equation: s = √100 = 10 m.

Therefore, the side length of the square is 10 m (Option a).
