Answer:

width = 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square and area of rectangle are equal.

Square:

       side = 12 m

       Area = side *side

                = 12 * 12

                = 144 m²

Rectangle:

        length = 8 m

Area of rectangle = length * width        

                              = 8 *width

Area of rectangle = area of square

                8* width= 144

                    width = 144 ÷ 8

                    [tex]\boxed{\bf width = 18 \ m}[/tex]
