\begin{array}{r} l = & 18 \\ w = & 27 \end{array}

$\begin{array}{r} l = & 18 \\ w = & 27 \end{array}$

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 = 18

$l = 18$ and width

w = 27

$w = 27$ into the formula for the area of a rectangle.

18 \cdot 27

$18 \cdot 27$

Step 3

Multiply

18

$18$ by

27

$27$ .
