A rectangular field is 64 meters × 25 meters. You want to fence in a square field that has the same area as the rectangular field. How long are the sides of the square field?
..
Area of rectangle = L*W
Area = 64*25 = 1600 sq.m
...
Area of square you want to fence = 1600 sq.m
Area of square = L^2
L^2 = 1600
L = 40 cm
sides are 40m
