• The dimensions must be in the same units to ensure accurate results.
• The length is the longer side of the rectangle, while the width is the shorter side.
• Area is expressed in square units (e.g., square meters, square centimeters).
• When length and width are known, simply multiply them to find the area.

Practical Applications
