What is a Rectangle Area Calculator?

A Rectangle Area Calculator is a tool used to calculate the area of a rectangle based on its length and width.

Why use a Rectangle Area Calculator?

Manually calculating the area of a rectangle is straightforward, but a calculator is useful when:
✅ Working with large or decimal values.
✅ Automating calculations for multiple rectangles.
✅ Ensuring accuracy in engineering, construction, and real estate.

How does a Rectangle Area Calculator work?

1. Formula for Rectangle Area

Area=Length×Width

where:

  • Length (L) = The longer side of the rectangle.
  • Width (W) = The shorter side of the rectangle.

2. Special Cases

  • If the rectangle is a square (where Length = Width), the formula simplifies to:

    Area=Side2

  • If the diagonal (D) is given instead of length/width, we use:

    where θ is the angle between the diagonals.

When is a Rectangle Area Calculator Used?
