How to Calculate the Area of a Rectangle

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

Rectangles form the basis of countless geometric and real-life applications, from plotting out rooms to determining the surface area of rectangular objects. The area formula is A = length × width. For example, a 12 m by 8 m rectangle has an area of 96 m². This simple calculation underlies more complex designs, such as floor plans or packaging materials. Grasping rectangular area helps you swiftly compute how much paint to buy for a wall or how large a garden bed is, making it indispensable in practical problem-solving.
