Area of Rectangle Calculator

Practical Applications of Calculating Area

Knowing how to calculate the area of a rectangle is useful in a variety of situations:

• Renovation: Are you going to lay new flooring or paint a wall? By knowing the area, you can purchase the right amount of materials.
• Gardening: Are you planning a new patio or laying sod? Area calculation helps you estimate costs and material needs.

How to Calculate the Area of a Rectangle

Calculating the area of a rectangle is simple and requires only two measurements:

1.Measure the length of one side of the rectangle.
2. Measure the width of the adjacent side.
3. Use the formula:
Area = Length × Width

Example

Let's say you have a room that is 5 meters long and 4 meters wide.

Length = 5 meters
Width = 4 meters
Area = 5 m × 4 m = 20 m²

This means your room is 20 square meters in size.
