Answer:
4√(10) cm

Explanation:

The area of the square is equal to the side length^2.

We can let s be the length of the side.

Therefore, s^2 = 10 cm^2

Square root both sides:

s =
√(10) cm

The perimeter of a square is 4 multiplied by the side length.

Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 4s =
4√(10) cm
