perimeter of square =( 4​​​* S)
=( 4 * 60 )
=240 m

perimeter of rectangle = 2 (L+B)​
2 (L + 1.5) = 240m
(L+ 1.5 )=240/2
=120

L= 120 -1.5
=119.5
L=119.5




area of square =S * S
=60 *60
=3600m2

area of perimeter = (L*B)
= (119.5*1.5)
=179.25m2

so area of square has greater area

Dear Rahaeman
You have taken the breadth of the rectangle as 1.5 m and the side of the square as 60 cm.
Both length and side of the square in the same unit.
