Real-world examples of area of rectangles and squares

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 📐 The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length ($l$) by its width ($w$): $A = l \times w$.
• 📏 The area of a square is found by squaring the length of one of its sides ($s$): $A = s^2$. Since all sides are equal, you just need one side's measurement!
• 🏡 Area is measured in square units (e.g., square feet, square meters, square inches).
• 💡 Knowing area helps in various real-world scenarios like calculating flooring, gardening space, or painting needs.
