Judy made a rectangular shaped figure of dimensions 20cm by 5cm with a piece of clay . She then took the same amount of clay and made a square figure. If the thickness of the square is the same as that of the rectangle, calculate the length of one side of the square figure ?

Plz help me understand this
Area of rectangle =
A = LW
A - 20 * 5
A = 100 square cm.
√100 = 10 = each side of square
A = LW
A - 20 * 5
A = 100 square cm.
√100 = 10 = each side of square
Area of Rectangle:
A = LW
A = (20cm)(5cm)
A = 100 cm^2
Area of Square:
A = s^2, where s = side of square
100 = s^2
sqrt{100} = {s^2}
10 cm = s
A = LW
A = (20cm)(5cm)
A = 100 cm^2
Area of Square:
A = s^2, where s = side of square
100 = s^2
sqrt{100} = {s^2}
10 cm = s
