Work is transferred energy. When you do work, you are transferring energy.
If the force is constant over time:
Work = F*d*cos(theta)
where F = force
d = distance object travels over the time the force is applied
theta = angle between force and the displacement of the object
The only component of the force that can do work is the component of the force that is parallel to the displacement.

Work is defined as the dot product of force times distance, or W = F * d = Fd cos (theta) where theta is the angle in between the force and distance vectors (if you are doing two dimensions). In three dimensions, use the standard definition for the dot product (using the component form of the vectors).
Force times distance equals work.
Force times distance is called "Work" for the purposes of physics.
Torque is calculated by multiplying a force by the distance from the fulcrum at which it acts.
W= FxD is a balanced equation because Work is Force times distance.
