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 has an area of 400 what is the perimeter?
A square with an area of 400 square units has a perimeter of 80 units.
Do all shapes with fixed perimeter have same area?
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
What is the perimeter of a square with an area of 256?
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.
What is piremiter of a square if the area is 16?
Its perimeter is 4+4+4+4 = 16 units of measurement
What is the area of square if its perimeter is 64cm?
A side length would be 64/4 which is 16 16 times 16 is 256
