I'm assuming that you might be trying to find the missing side of a right triangle with a leg of 4cm and a hypoteneuse of 64cm.....so, squaring both sides, we have......

4096 = x^2 + 16   subract 16 from both sides

4080 = x^2      take the positive root of both sides

√4080 = x = √(16*255) = 4√255 cm..... or about 63.87 cm

Do you mean  

$$\\64 cm^2 = \sqrt{x^2+16} cm^2\\
or\\
64 cm^2 = \sqrt{x^2}+16 cm^2\\
or\\
something\;\;else?$$
