Question

Area of Rectangles and Squares
What is the area
23 cm
14cm
_______Square centimeters

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, you have:

- Length = 23 cm
- Width = 14 cm

So, the area \( A \) can be calculated as follows:

\[
A = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 23 \, \text{cm} \times 14 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
A = 322 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Therefore, the area is **322 square centimeters**.
