Because the equation of the area of a rectangle is Area=length*width When you multiply length by width, you are not only multiplying the numerical values, you are also multiplying the labels. A label multiplied by itself becomes squared, just like numbers multiplied by themselves. For example, the length of the rectangle could be 3 centimeters (cm) and the width could be 2 cm. To find the area, plug these into the equation: Area=3cm*2cm Area=(3*2)(cm*cm) Area=6 cm squared
