problem

Sally has a cube of side length ss units such that the number of square units in the surface area of the cube equals 16\frac{1}{6} of the number of cubic units in the volume. She also wants to make a square for which the number of square units in the area of the square is equal to the number of cubic units in the volume of the cube. What should the side length of the square be?
