You ONLY multiply the length and width, which is the two sides that aren't the same. If you can't figure it out, multiply one side by 2 and the other side by two, and add those products together to get the area.
Here is the formula for area and perimeter:
Area: L x W
Perimeter: 2L +2W

Area you multiply 2 sides and perimeter you add all the sides together.
Do you times all the sides in area?
If you are calculating the area of a rectangle, it is length times width. You are not multiplying all the sides, because there are four sides. You only need to multiply two of them.
