The area of a square is given by the formula area = width × height. But since the width and height of a square are, by definition, the same, the formula is usually written as
area = s2
To determine the length of a side given the area we just have to reverse the formula:
s = √area
s = √16cm2 = 4cm
Given that the length of each side of a square is the same all we need to do now is multiply the length of a side by the number of sides
4cm x 4 = 16cm
The perimeter of a square with an area of 16cm2 is 16cm

A square with an area of 400 square units has a perimeter of 80 units.
nope because if u have a square with a side length of 4 then the perimeter is 16 and the area is 16 and say if u have a rectangle with side lengths of 2 and 6 then the perimeter is 16 but the area is 12 so the answer is no
If the area of the square is equal to 256 centimetres squared, then each side of the square would be sqrt(256) = 16.Therefore, given that a square has four sides of equal length, the perimeter of the square would be 16 x 4 = 64 centimetres.
Its perimeter is 4+4+4+4 = 16 units of measurement
A side length would be 64/4 which is 16 16 times 16 is 256
