4a = a^2
a = 4
side of the square is 4 unit
a = 4
side of the square is 4 unit

It's actually 4 units.
Let one side of the square be x unit.
Perimeter of the square = 4x
Area of the square = x²
4x = x²
= 4 × x = x × x
When we cut one x each from both sides of the equation, we get,
4 = x
∴ One side of the square should be 4 unit.
But,
If 4x = x², then x can have the value of not only 4, but also 0!
But 0 can't be one side of a square!
So 4 is the answer.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
