📖 1 of 2

The area of a rectangle tells us how much space is inside it. To find the area, you multiply the length by the width. For example, if a rectangle is 4 meters long and 3 meters wide, you would calculate the area like this: 4 x 3 = 12. This means the area of the rectangle is 12 square meters. The 'square meters' tells us we are measuring space in two dimensions.
