It's length times width. Think of a rectangular box of brownies, 5 inches wide by 7 inches long. How many one inch square brownies would fit on the bottom of that box? You would either have seven rows of five brownies each, or five rows of seven brownies each depending on how you were looking at the box. Either way, 35 one inch square brownies fit on the bottom of that rectangular box. The faster way to say that is 5 in. x 7 in. = 35 sq. in.
