Answer:


\boxed{\tt x=2\: units}

Explanation:

First, we need to set up an equation using the formula for the area of a triangle.


\boxed{\tt Area=\cfrac{1}{2} * \: base* height}

Given:

Area: 4

Base: x

Height: 4

____________________


\tt 4=\cfrac{1}{2} *\: x*4


\longmapsto\tt 4=2x

Divide both sides by 2:


\longmapsto\tt \cfrac{4}{2}=\cfrac{2x}{2}


\longmapsto\tt x=\cfrac{4}{2}


\longmapsto\tt x=2

Therefore, the missing side is 2 units.
