Question 660600
<pre>
Hi, there--

AREA means the space inside the garden. The formula for finding the area of a rectangular 
garden is 
[AREA] = [LENGTH] * [WIDTH]

Area = [20 meters] * [12 meters]

Area = 240 square meters

Notice that when we calculate the are, the units change from meters to square meters.
