Finding the area of a rectangle

The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width. The result describes how much surface is covered inside the rectangle.

Work step by step

  1. Identify the length and width.
  2. Check that both measurements use compatible units.
  3. Multiply length by width.
  4. Write the answer in square units and reread the question.

Common mistake: Adding the side lengths gives perimeter, not the area inside the rectangle.
