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
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.
The area of the rectangle is 72 square feet
An infinite number of squares can be placed within a rectangle.

A rectangle.
what are the dimensions of the rectangle with this perimeter and an area of 8000 square meters

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.

That depends on the size of the suares. For example, there will be a million squares with sides of 0.001 ft each. If the 12 square ft area is in the form of a 6*2 rectangle, there will be space for 3 squares of 2*2. But if the area is 3*4 then 2*2 squares cannot cover it without overlap.
