Thank you :D

Answer 4

The formula for both the square and the rectangular sheds is the same A = L x W, so the rectangular shed is 2 m x 18 m = 36 m^2

The square shed (being a square) will have the same length for both the length and the width. So, what number when multiplied by itself will equal 36 m^2?
