the area of a triangle is base times height times one half and rectangle is length times width
Squares are rectangles so the formula for area will stay the same.
Knowing the length and the width.
in finding the area if a square or rectangle multiply the length and width, for a triangle, multiply length and width divided by two.
It is base times perpendicular height.
1 method is to multiply length times the width and the 2 method is to divide the rectangle into triangles and find the area of one of the triangles and multiply the area by two.
Area of a rectangle: a = l * w
A = lw Area of a rectangle = length times width
L.A.= 2*pi*radius*height its not like finding the area of a rectangle. a cylinder is a 3-D shape and a rectangle is a flat shape
Area of rectangle is l x b. Where l is length and b is breath of the rectangle.
The term "rectangle method" is used in different ways in math, but I will guess that your question is related to finding areas on a Geoboard. A Geoboard has a grid of pegs; you can make outlines of figures by stretching elastic bands around the pegs. If your figure is a triangle, you can find it's area by making the smallest rectangle which will enclose the triangle (The rectangle should have vertical and horizontal sides). The area of the rectangle can be found easily by multiplying the length by the width. The area of the triangle is half of the area of the rectangle.
the area of a triangle is base times height times one half and rectangle is length times width
in order to find area of rectangle=(len*bred)
base times height = area
By finding the total area, you can see if all of the areas of your shapes combined match the total area of the rectangle. It's a safe-check.

I beleve that is the formula for finding the area of a rectangle or squareLength*Width equals area for rectangles. LxW=Area of a rectangle.
