To find the product of 14×45 using the area model and the distributive property, follow these steps:

Step 1: Draw a rectangle and divide it into two parts, one representing 14 and the other representing 45.

Step 2: Label the length of the rectangle as 14 and the width as 45.

Step 3: Divide the rectangle representing 45 into 40 and 5.

Step 4: Label the length of the first smaller rectangle as 40 and the length of the second smaller rectangle as 5.

Step 5: Now, label the width of the first smaller rectangle as 14 and the width of the second smaller rectangle as 14 as well.

Step 6: Calculate the area of the two smaller rectangles:
- The area of the first smaller rectangle is 40×14 = 560.
- The area of the second smaller rectangle is 5×14 = 70.

Step 7: Add the areas of the two smaller rectangles together: 560 + 70 = 630.

Therefore, 14×45 = 630.
