The area of a shape is the amount of space inside it. For a rectangle or square, you can find the area by multiplying its length and width. Remember the formula:
Area = length × width or A = l × w
If you know the area and one of the side lengths, you can find the missing side by dividing the area by the known side. For example, if a rectangle has an area of 24 square cm and a length of 6 cm, you can find the width by dividing 24 by 6. The width is 4 cm.
