Area

Area is the number of square units needed to cover a region or figure

We can calculate the area of a rectangle by placing it on a grid of square. The number squares in the rectangle is the area

We can also find the area (total number of squares that cover the rectangle) by multiplying the number of rows of squares by the number of squares in each row

Width of the rectangle = Number of rows
Length of the rectangle = Number of squares in each row

So, area of a rectangle = Number of rows x Number of squares in each row = Length x Width

Area is the number of square units needed to cover a region of the figure.
It is measured in square units. For example: square inches (inches²), square feet (ft²) etc

We can calculate the area by placing the rectangle on a grid of square. The number of squares in the rectangle is the area

We can also find the area (total number of squares that cover the rectangle) by multiplying the number of rows of squares by the number of squares in each row

To find the area of a complex figure, split the figure into 2 or more rectangles, count the number of squares in each and add

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
