    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that,

    The arc length is four times the radius

    Let he radius be 'r'

    Then, the arc length be 's'

    The arc of a sector can be calculated using

    s=θ/360 * 2πr

    Then, given that s=4r

    So, 4r = θ * 2πr / 360

    Divide both side r

    4 = θ * 2π/360

    Then, make θ subject of formula

    θ * 2π = 360 * 4

    θ = 360 * 4 / 2π

    θ = 720 / π

    So, area of the sector can be determine using

    A = θ / 360 * πr²

    Since r = ¼s

    Then,

    A = (θ/360) * π * (¼s) ²

    A = (θ/360) * π * (s²/16)

    A = θ * π * s² / 360 * 16

    Since θ = 720 / π

    A = (720/π) * π * s² / 360 * 16

    A = 720 * π * s² / 360 * 16 * π

    A = s² / 8

    Then,

    s² = 8A

    Then,

    s = √ (8A)

    s = 2 √2•A
