Practice Multiplication as Area in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

Understanding multiplication as calculating the area of a rectangle: length times width gives the number of unit squares that fit inside. This visual model connects arithmetic to geometry.

A 3 \times 4 rectangle has 12 unit squares inside—multiplication counts them.

Example 1

easy
A rectangular garden is 5 meters long and 3 meters wide. What is its area? Use \(A = l \times w\).

Example 2

medium
A tile floor is 8 feet long and 6 feet wide. Each tile is 1 square foot. How many tiles are needed to cover the floor?

Example 3

easy
A rectangle has length 7 cm and width 4 cm. Find its area.

Example 4

medium
A wall has an area of 54 square feet. It is 9 feet tall. How wide is the wall?
