You can put this solution on YOUR website! The square root of 144 is 12
Therefore the dimensions of this rectangle is that its width and length are both 12. A rectangle is considered a square or the other way around.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are some problems with the other tutor's solution:- He provided only one solution. There are literally an infinite number of rectangles whose area is 144 sq. meters: 1 x 144, 2 x 72, 3 x 48, 0.5 x 288, 0.1 x 1440, 1.5 x 96, etc. As long as a rectangle's length times width equals 144, then that rectangle has the right area.
- Squares are, like he/she said, a kind of rectangle. But most rectangles are not squares. Only the rectangles with 4 equal sides are squares.
