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!

What is the area of a desk?
You need to know the length and width of the desk before you can determine the area. Multiply the length by the width to get your answer (length x width = area).
How do you determine the length and width of a square when given the area?
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.
What are the length width and height of a rectangular prism when the surface area is 720 inches?
The area does not provide sufficient information to determine the length, width and height.
What is the area of a parallelogram with length 17.25 mm and width 5.065 mm?
The length and width of a parallelogram, as normally measured, does not provide enough information to determine its area.
How do you you get the length if you have the area and the width?
Area = length x width Length = area/width

What are the length width and height of a rectangular prism when the surface area is 720 inches?
The area does not provide sufficient information to determine the length, width and height.
How do you determine the area of a rectangular flower bed?
You multiply the length by the width.
What is the length and width of a 1 hectare land?
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.
What is the area of a parallelogram with length 17.25 mm and width 5.065 mm?
The length and width of a parallelogram, as normally measured, does not provide enough information to determine its area.
How do you you get the length if you have the area and the width?
Area = length x width Length = area/width
What is the width in feet on 2.54 acres of land?
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.
How do you find the length if you already have the width and the area?
If Length * Width = Area, then Area ÷ width = Length
How do you find the length if the width and area is given?
Area = (length) times (width)Length = (area) divided by (width)Width = (area) divided by (length)
How do you determine area of a practice field?
Determining the area of a rectangle is simply multiplying its length by its width.
