We had found area of rectangle by counting the squares

But, that method is too long

 

To find area of any rectangle,

We use formula

 

For a rectangle with length l and breadth b

Area of rectangle = l × b

 

Comparing counting the squares method to formula

Area of rectangle - Part 2

 

Find area of rectangle with length 10 m and breadth 15 m

Area of rectangle - Part 3

 

Length = l = 10 m

Breadth = b = 15 m

 

       Area of rectangle = l × b

            = 10 × 15

    = 150 sq. m

    = 150 m 2

We have, 15 full squares So, Area = 15 sq. cm = 15 cm2 Length = l = 5 cm Breadth = b = 3 cm Area of rectangle = l × b = 5 × 3 = 15 cm2
