Detailed explanation-1: -In this example, the length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm. Multiply the length times the width. Your length is 5 cm and your width is 4 cm, so you should plug them into the equation A = L * W to find the area. State your answer in square units.
Detailed explanation-2: -A rectangle is composed of two sides: length (L) and width (W). The length of a rectangle is the longest side, whereas the width is the shortest side. The width of a rectangle is sometimes referred to as the breadth (b).
Detailed explanation-3: -Depending on what information you have available, there are many ways to calculate the length of a rectangle. If you have the area A and width w, its length w is determined as h = A/w . If you have the perimeter P and width w, its length can be found with h = P/2−w .
Detailed explanation-4: -Area of a rectangle = length × width . Length = 5 + 2 = 7 cm.
