Answer:

40 units

Explanation:

1) Find the side length of the square

Let the side be "s".


\rightarrow (1)/(2) * s * s = 50 \ \text{cm}^(2)


\rightarrow s * s = 50 * 2


\rightarrow s * s = 100


\rightarrow √(s * s) = √(100)


\rightarrow s = \±10


\rightarrow s = 10 \ \text{units} (Side lengths can never be negative)

2) Find the perimeter of the square


\text{Perimeter of square = 4(s) = 4(10) = 40 units}
