It depends on the shape.

Square: Area = side2 or length x width

Rectangle: Area = length x width

For a circle: Area = pi x r2

Be sure to use proper units. Whether use use inches, feet, centimeters, meters, or some other length unit, the surface area will always be that unit squared (in2, ft2, cm2, m2 ...).
