Absolutely! Let’s solve each problem step by step.
The
area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
>
Area = Length × Width
In problems 1–4, since the rectangles are drawn on a grid and no units are given, we assume
each small square is 1 cm × 1 cm, so the area is just the
number of squares inside the rectangle.

Problem 1:
- The rectangle is
5 squares wide and
4 squares tall.
- Area = 5 × 4 =
20 square cm
✔ Answer: 20
---
Problem 2:
- The rectangle is
3 squares wide and
4 squares tall.
- Area = 3 × 4 =
12 square cm
✔ Answer: 12

Problem 3:
- The rectangle is
6 squares wide and
3 squares tall.
- Area = 6 × 3 =
18 square cm
✔ Answer: 18

Problem 4:
- The rectangle is
7 squares wide and
4 squares tall.
- Area = 7 × 4 =
28 square cm
✔ Answer: 28

Problem 5:
- This rectangle has labeled sides:
5 cm (length) and
3 cm (width).
- Area = 5 × 3 =
15 square cm
✔ Answer: 15
---
Problem 6:
- This is a
square (a special rectangle) with all sides
4 cm.
- Area = 4 × 4 =
16 square cm
✔ Answer: 16

💡 Tip:
When counting squares, you can also think of it as rows × columns — that’s the same as length × width!
