Side of square is √48 which is 4√3
Logic
Answer: 4√3

First you find the total area of the square:
which is the area of the circle + 12
36+12= 48 cm^2

Next you need to find the side of the square. We know that all sides of a square are equal and we know the area of the square is 48 cm^2. The area of a square is the side^2. So we know the side is equal to the square root of the area:
√48. If you want to simplify that you can do 4√3 !!

Hope this helps!
