Question 121247
Two things you need to know about a square:
1. All side are equal in length
2. The area of a square is s^2, where s is a side
--------------------------------------------
Since you are given the area, just take the square root of it and you will have the value of the length of 1 side:
{{{s=sqrt(265)}}}
{{{highlight(s=16)}}} cm
