For instance, if there was a room that was room that was 9 feet by 5 feet wide…

9 feet

5 fe

et

To find the area of the room, we would use the equation:

A = w times h

9 feet

5 fe

et

Filling in the values we would find that:

The area = 5 feet times 9 feet

9 feet

5 fe

et

That means:

The area of the room is 45 ft2.

9 feet
