A rectangle has width 4 cm and length 6 cm. What is its area?

• A. 18
• B. 24
• C. 28
• D. 30

Answer: (B)

Area of a rectangle comes from multiplying its length by its width. With a length of 6 cm and a width of 4 cm, multiply 6 by 4 to get 24. The area is 24 square centimeters (24 cm^2). The other numbers would come from incorrect calculations, but the correct operation is simply length times width.
