Given : area of square = 16 sq. metres.

We need to calculate the perimeter of square. To calculate the perimeter firstly we need to find out the length of the side of the square.

Using the formula of area of square we can find out the length of side of the square.The required formula to calculate the area is,

$Area = a^2 \: \: \: [ \sf{ a \: is \: side\: of \: square}]$

16 = a^2

Squaring both sides,

a = 4

The length of the side of square is 4 meters.

Now let's calculate the perimeter of the square.The required formula to calculate perimeter is,

P = 4 * a

P = 4 × 4

P = 16 m

So the perimeter of the square is 16 m.
