Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square platform = Length × Length

A = L² (note that all the sides of a square are equal)

Given

A = 16m²

L² = 16

L = √16

L = 4m

Hence the dimension of the square is 4m by 4m (use the dimension when sketching the diagram. Al the sides is the diagram must be the same i.e 4m)

Perimeter of the square = 4L

P = 4(4)

P = 16m

Hence the perimeter of the platform is 16m
