I would say that it should be 48 ft long and 46 ft wide, the area would be 2208 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I will try my best to answer this.

I would start by dividing 188 by 4

this gives you a 47*47 square

if it needs to be a rectangle I would then make the sides 48, 48, 46, and 46

48*46 would be the dimensions

the area would be 2208 square feet
