Area is the size of the surface of the object or the total amount of space that the object covers.
Area of rectangle and square can be calculated by the given formula :
Area = Length x Width
Example 1
The length of the table is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet.
The area of the table will be:
6 x 4 = 24 square feet
So, 24 square feet of table cloth is needed to cover the surface of the table.
Example 2
The length of the driveway paved is 50 feet and the width is 20 feet.
The area of the driveway paved will be:
50 x 20 = 1000 square feet
