Areas of Simple Quadrilaterals:
Squares and Rectangles

The simplest (and most commonly used) area calculations are for squares and rectangles.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width.

For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area. This is the same as saying length2 or length squared.

Often, shapes can be more complex. For example, An area  may not consist of a simple rectangle or square: the best way to calculate an area like this is to break the area down into smaller sections and add them together to give you the most accurate calculation .
