Since the formula for area is A = L X W (area equals the length times the width), yes, you must multiply the length and the width to get the area (in units squared).

To calculate the area you multiply the width times lenghth.the numbers that are on the side of the shape multiply them and you'll get the area. Now to get the perimeter you add the numbers on the sides together. Add lenght times width.that's how you get your perimter and area.
for area you times the two numbers and for perimeter you add the numbers
They are called square numbers because they can form a square and the square is one number times itself. They are called square numbers because they represent the area of a square with integer sidelengths. Example: 49. 49 is the area of a 7x7 square, so 49 is a square number.
To find the area of a rectangle with sides that are 39 and 16, you would multiply the two numbers (length times width) to get your answer. 39 x 16 = 624
To find the area of a square you must times/multiply the numbers for 2 sides. Example: If you have a square that is 4 inches long and 4 inches wide, the area would be 16 inches.
