Answer:
Length of each side of the square = 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, diagrams of a right triangle and a square have been given.
"Area of the square is twice the area of the triangle."
Let one side of the square = x cm
Therefore, area of the square = x²
Area of the given triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(16)(4)[/tex]
= 32 cm²
Therefore, x² = 2 × 32
x² = 64
x = 8 cm
Therefore, length of each side of the square will be 8 cm.
