Oh, dude, it's like both, kinda. So, when you're dealing with a rectangle or a square, you multiply the length by the width to get the area. But if you're dealing with a shape like a circle, you gotta use pi times the radius squared. So, yeah, it's a mix of adding and multiplying, but who really cares, right?
