Area of a Rectangle

Introduction to Area of a Rectangle Calculator

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this formula, A represents the area of the rectangle, length is the measurement of one of the longer sides of the rectangle, and width is the measurement of one of the shorter sides. The result is expressed in square units, based on the units used for length and width (e.g., square meters, square feet).

Parameter usage:

• length = length of the rectangle
• width = width of the rectangle

Example valid values:

• length = 5
• width = 15

Output:

• area = area of the rectangle

Data validation

The numbers should be greater than zero.

Summary

This calculator takes into account the width and height of a rectangle and outputs its area. It is not specific to a particular unit of measurement.
