Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]

In this case, the length is 6 centimeters and the width is 3 centimeters.

So, the area would be:

\[ \text{Area} = 6 , \text{cm} \times 3 , \text{cm} = 18 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Thus, the area of the rectangle is 18 square centimeters.
