The formula for the area of a square is simply L2 (sometimes referred to as s2 ) where L (s) is the length of one side.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is LW, where L is the length and W is the width.

The formula for the area of a rectangle can be used to find the area of a square, but the formula for the area of a square cannot be used to find the area of a rectangle. This is because by definition, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Can a square and a rectangle have the same area?

Yes. For example, a 4x4 square would have an area of 16 units squared. A 2x8 rectangle would also have an area of 16 units squared. Also, every rectangle is a square too though every square is not a rectangle. So, a 4x4 square is also a rectangle which means both have the same area.
