You cannot. A square metre (m2) is a measure of area, with dimensions [L2]. A linear metre (m) is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

But suppose you have a square with an area of 20 square meter (m2). The sides of this square will be the square root of 20 m2 = (√20) m = 4,472 m.

A rectangle that is 4 meter x 5 meter will also have an area of 20 m2.
