area of a rectangle = length x width
The perimeter is equal to length + length + width + width while area is length x width. Both measurements are found by using width and length.
If the length of the side of a square is s cm, for example, then its area is s^2 cm-squared.
Area = length x width Length = area/width
If Length * Width = Area, then Area ÷ width = Length
