Answer:

4m

Explanation:

All the sides of a square are equal lengths. So 2 numbers that are the same must equal 16m^2.

A number times itself is known as a square number. The value of this square number is 16 m².

It can be shown like this:

a²= 16 m² or a×a = 16 m²

The reverse of squaring numbers is square root. To find the value of one side you can do √16. √16 = 4. We can check this by substituting (replacing) 4 in the place of 'a' to see if the answer is 16.

a×a = 16 m²

4 × 4 = 16

Therefore, the length of one side of the square equals to 4m.

Answer:

s = 4 m

Explanation:

the area (A) of a square is calculated as

A = s² ( s is the side length )

given A = 16 m² , then

s² = 16 ( take square root of both sides )

s =
√(16) = 4 m
