First of all, it depends on the shape - whether it is a circle (radius = 3.385 m), a triangle, quadrilateral, etc. There are infinitely many possible shapes.

If you narrow it down to a rectangle, there are infinitely many possibilities. The only thing you can say is that its length (which is the longer of the two dimensions) will be at least 6 m.

Suppose the length is L metres where L ≥ 6 metres.

Let W = 36/L metres.

Then L*W = L*(36/L) = 36 sq metres.

Since there are infinitely many values of L, there are infinitely many measures for a rectangle with an area of 36 sq metres.

Similarly, there are infinitely many possible dimensions for all other irregular polygons.
