Default Strength of materials question: square tube vs angle iron

Hi all; about to start building a trailer. The trailer plans I
bought from trailerplans.com call for 2"x3"x1/4" angle iron. I
want to use steel tube instead. Can anybody give me an idea of what
size steel tube would have the same strength? Is there somewhere
this can be looked up?
