and a rectangle;
2. find the area of a square and a rectangle
in square centimeter and square meter.

Lesson
Finding the Area of
Rectangle and Square
In this lesson you learn how to get the area of a square
and rectangle. Some of the things you have or places you have
visited are often measured in area. It is for you to find out
while learning in this lesson.
What’s In
Choose the appropriate unit of measurement whether it

is square centimeter( sq. cm) or square meter (sq. m) in
finding the area of the following:
1. Room _____________________
2. Tile _____________________
3. Book _____________________
4. Cartolina _____________________
5. Table ______________________
Notes to the Teacher
Please allow the learners to use

measuring tools like ruler, meter stick and
tape measure in actual measurement of
objects inside the classroom or in the
environment.
Set some safety measures/precaution in
doing the task. C.a. Geronimo Files

Rectangle
The length of the rectangle is 3cm.
The width of the rectangle is 2 cm.

2 cm width
2
If we connect the marks on opposite sides we

will find that there are 6 square centimeters.
3 x 2 = 6 sq cm
length width Area
To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length of one

side by the length by the width.
We can write this as a formula.

A = L x W
Area Length Width
Since both the length and the width use cm as unit of

measures, the area should carry sq cm or cm2 or square
centimetre.
Square
The square has 2 sides with 2 units.
If we connect the marks on opposite sides, we will find that

the area of the square is 4 square units.
To find the area of the square multiply the length of one side to the
length of the other side.
2 x 2 = 4 sq. units
side side Area
We can write this as a formula.

A= S X S
What’s More
Activity 2
Find the area. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1.) 12 cm 2.) 42 cm 3.) 54 m

26 cm 14m
A= S X S A= L x W A=LxW
___________ ___________ ___________
___________ ___________ ___________
4.) L= 32 cm 5.) L= 47 m
W= 16 cm W= 65 m
A=________ A= ________
What I Have Learned
 In finding the area of a square, use A= S x S
 In finding the area of a rectangle, use A=L x W
 Area should be expressed in square units.
