Imagine the rectangle divided into squares corresponding to length and width... Eg a 6" x 5" rectangle would have 5 rows of six one-inch squares, total 30, which would make its area 30 squinches
To cover a rectangle that measures 6 inches by 4 inches, you would first calculate the area of the rectangle, which is 6 inches × 4 inches = 24 square inches. Since each 1-inch square covers 1 square inch, you would need 24 of the 1-inch squares to completely cover the rectangle.
The area of a 16 by 6 rectangle is 16*6 = 96 square units.
Squares are rectangles so the formula for area will stay the same.
An infinite number of squares can be placed within a rectangle.

Simple. Just multiply the length by the width of the rectangle. This also works for squares.
Use squares and try it out for yourself. Get a number of squares and make a rectangle 3 squares long by 4 squares wide. Count the squares. You should have 12 squares (or 3*4). That's the best way I know to prove the formula.
The formula for the area of a square is simply L2 (sometimes referred to as s2 ) where L (s) is the length of one side. The formula for the area of a rectangle is LW, where L is the length and W is the width. The formula for the area of a rectangle can be used to find the area of a square, but the formula for the area of a square cannot be used to find the area of a rectangle. This is because by definition, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
