Finding area involves finding how many square units will fit in the shape.
If it is a rectangle, then the length times the width will give you the number of square units that will fit in the shape, (e.g., a 4 foot wide by 8 foot long rectangle would fit 32 square feet in the shape).

Multiplication
Division by a non-zero rational number is equivalent to multiplication by its reciprocal.
Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply.
It is called multiplication.
