There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those given information's the answer can be easily deduced. Lateral area of the solid = 216 cm^2 Lateral edge of the solid = 9 cm Let us assume the measure of the one side of the section = x Then 216 = 4s * 9 216 = 36s s = 6 From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the measure of the one side of the section is 6 cm. I hope that the answer has actually come to your help.
