You multiply the rectangle's length x width (L x W). The result is in square units. For example, if the length and width are in centimeters, the area will be in square centimeters.

Take the following rectangle as an example:

|--------------|

| . . . . . . . . .| 3 (Height / Length)

|________|

6 (Width)

Using the formula L x W, we can substitute in 3for L and 6 for W.

3 x 6 equals 18, so the area of this rectangle is 18 units2
