1. Area =   square units

2. Area =   square units

Find the area of each rectangle by multiplying its length and width.

Length = 6 unitsWidth = 3 units

3. Length = 6 units, Width = 3 units. Area =   square units.

Length = 5 unitsWidth = 5 units

4. Length = 5 units, Width = 5 units. Area =   square units.

Match each rectangle description with its correct area.
