  $26.83\text{ cm}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The area of the square is same as that of rectangle whose sides are $24$ cm by $30$ cm.

Calculation:

The length of the side of the square is given as follows-

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{side×side}=\text{Area of rectangle}\\ \text{side}=\sqrt{l\times b}\\ \text{side}=\sqrt{24\times 30}\\ \text{side}=\sqrt{720}\\ \text{side}=26.83\end{array}$

Hence the length of the side of square is $26.83\text{cm}$
