: The [[unit]]s of [[area]] are not usually '[[square]]s', they are either [[Metres Squared|metres squared]] (m<sup>2</sup>) or [[Centimetres Squared|centimetres squared]] (cm<sup>2</sup>).
: The [[area]] of a [[rectangle]] or a [[square]] can also be found if the length of the sides is known.
: To find the [[area]] of a [[rectangle]] or [[square]][[multiply]] the [[base]] by the [[height]]. {| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:SqaureArea1.png|center|200px]]|[[File:RectangleArea1.png|center|200px]]|[[File:RectangleArea2.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |<math>area = base \times height</math> <math>area = 5 \times 5</math> <math>area = 25m^2</math> | style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |<math>area = base \times height</math> <math>area = 7 \times 4</math> <math>area = 28cm^2</math> | style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |<math>area = base \times height</math> <math>area = 6\times 4.5</math> <math>area = 27cm^2</math> |}
