\begin{array}{r} l = & 5 \\ w = & 8 \end{array}

$\begin{array}{r} l = & 5 \\ w = & 8 \end{array}$

Step 1

The area of a rectangle is equal to the length times the width.

(l e n g t h) \cdot (w i d t h)

$(l e n g t h) \cdot (w i d t h)$

Step 2

Substitute the values of the length

l = 5

$l = 5$ and width

w = 8

$w = 8$ into the formula for the area of a rectangle.

5 \cdot 8

$5 \cdot 8$

Step 3

Multiply

5

$5$ by

8

$8$ .
