Multiply the length by the width, and you will get your area.
For example... a standard piece of paper has two long sides, and two short sides. The two short sides are exactly the same length, and the two long sides are exactly the same length.
The length of a long side is 11 inches and the length of a short side is 8.5 inches.
To find the area you would multiply 11x8.5 which equals 93.5. Your area would then be 93.5 square inches.
The equation is l*w=a
l being length
w being width
a being area
this equation will work for any squares or rectangles!

Square root the area. The length and width of a square are always the same and length times width is the area so this is how you get the area.
The area does not provide sufficient information to determine the length, width and height.
The length and width of a parallelogram, as normally measured, does not provide enough information to determine its area.
Area = length x width Length = area/width

You multiply the length by the width.
Information about area is not enough to determine its dimensions. You can, for example, double its length and halve its width without altering the area.
The length and width of a parallelogram, as normally measured, does not provide enough information to determine its area.
Area = length x width Length = area/width
An acre is a unit for area. Width x length. You can obtain the 2.54 acre area with a lot of length and width combinations. If you don't know the length, you cannot determine with any certainty what the width will be.
If Length * Width = Area, then Area ÷ width = Length
Area = (length) times (width)Length = (area) divided by (width)Width = (area) divided by (length)
Determining the area of a rectangle is simply multiplying its length by its width.
