For the square, the area will be 4x4, which will equal 16 sq ft. Since Juan is wanting to turn it to a rectangle, he will have to use the equation 8x2.

Here is the model, but the Areas are not the same.
Old = X*X = X^2 Area
New = 2X*(X-16) = 2X^2-32X
If the Areas are the same,
2X^2 - 32X = X^2
X^2 - 32X = 0
X(X-32) = 0
X = 32
Old Area = 32x32 = 1024 ft^2
New Area = 2(32x32) = 32x32 = 1024 ft^2
