The lengths of side of a square of area 64 cm^{2} will be
The area of a square is given by side x side
Therefore Side x side = 64
Side = 8 cm ( since we have 8 x 8 = 64; When we look at the factors of 16 ,
64 = 64 x 1
64 = 32 x 2
64 = 16 x 4
64 = 8 x 8 ; since the sides have to be equal , it has to be 4 x 4 = 16
