If you have a T3 foot print, it will be shaped more like a rectangle. If it is a T4, it will be closer to a square.

This is a T4

I don't have a picture of a T3, but picture pretty much the same thing, but skinnier from top to bottom. Meaning it will be wider than it is tall vs the one in the picture above.
