Comparing Areas of Square and Rectangle

Consider two shapes: a square and a rectangle. The square has a side length of 4 units. The rectangle has a length of 6 units and a width of 3 units.

What is the comparison of the area of the square to the area of the rectangle?

To find the area of a square, use the formula: $Area_{square} = s^2$, where $s$ is the side length.

To find the area of a rectangle, use the formula: $Area_{rectangle} = l \times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.
