4 mm

8 mm

12 mm
Please explain the steps! :)

Answer 1

square sides are the same

Answer 2

area of the square is \( (side)^2\)

Answer 3

for this side
area=\(x^2\)= 16

Answer 4

so
\(x^2=16\)
then
\(x=\sqrt 16=4\)

Answer 5

since a square has equal lengths and the area of a square is length time width. area=16
root16=4
