A square and a rectangle with the same dimensions will support the same amount of weight if they are made of the same material and have the same structural integrity. However, if you compare a square to a rectangle with different dimensions, the rectangle may potentially support more weight due to its longer sides providing additional support and distributing the load more evenly. The structural stability and material composition are critical factors in determining the weight-bearing capacity of both shapes.

They are both plane figures meaning they are two dimensional. The idea of supporting weight does not work for 2 dimensional figures.
