By Pythagoreans' theorem,
7.5² = l² × b²
56.25 = l² × b²
Since l = b
56.25 ÷ 2
= l²/b²
= 28.125 mm
∴ l = √28.125
= 5.3033 mm
Area of square
= √28.125 × √28.125
= 28.125 mm²
≈ 28.1 mm² (3s.f.)

Answer:
rectangular; 32 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The base is rectangular, because 1 set of sides is longer than the other.
To find the area of the base, multiply 4 by 8 to get 32 in².
