Answer:

4 units

Explanation:

First, find the area of the square. The square is made from 4 identical triangles, each with an area of 4 square units. So, the area of the whole square is 16 square units.

Substitute A=16 into the formula for the area of a square.

16

= s2

To find s, you should find the positive square root of 16. So, figure out which number squared equals 16.

The number 4 squared equals 16.

4=44=16

So, the side length of the square is 4 units.
