Best Answer

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.
