Calculating Dimensions for Square Solar Cells

A manufacturing engineer is designing square solar cells where the area of each cell is represented by the expression $16n^2squaremillimeters.Toensurethecellsfitintothestandardmountinggrid,theengineerneedstodeterminethesidelengthbysimplifyingthesquarerootofthearea.Whatisthesimplifiedalgebraicexpressionforthesidelengthofthesolarcell,calculatedassquare millimeters. To ensure the cells fit into the standard mounting grid, the engineer needs to determine the side length by simplifying the square root of the area. What is the simplified algebraic expression for the side length of the solar cell, calculated as\sqrt{16n^2}$?
