There can be no equivalence.

A metre is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space while a square metre is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

Furthermore, the area = 8 sqm, is not sufficient information to determine the length and width. First of all, there is no reason to suppose that the area is rectangular as opposed to circular or triangular or some other simple or complicated shape. Even if, on the basis that the question asks for length and width, you assume that it is a rectangle, there are infinitely many possible answers.

For example, 1 m * 8 m

10 m * 80 cm

100 m * 8 cm

1 km * 8 mm

1000 km * 8 micrometres and so on.

There are many others.
