To find the side length of the square mirror, we need to determine the length of each side.
The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. Thus, if the area is 16 square feet, we have:
Side length * Side length = Area
Let's solve for the side length:
Side length * Side length = 16 square feet
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
Side length = √16 square feet
Since 4 squared (4 * 4) equals 16, we can say:
Side length = 4 feet
Thus, the side length of the square mirror is 4 feet.
