If someone fills the inside of the rectangle by drawing hundreds of rows of tiny squares,
the way you find out how many squares there are is: you count the number of rows,
then you count the number of columns, then you multiply the two numbers.
That's exactly what you're doing when you measure the width, measure the length,
and multiply.
