7. The amount of surface in a region is
it area. The area of any two-
dimensional figure can be
determined by imagining its surface
filled with square regions called
square units.

9. A rectangular region
whose length
measures 6 units and
whose width
measures 4 units.
How many square
units are there in its
surface?
4 units
6 units
10. There are 24 units. 24
is the product of 6
and 4. Thus, the
rectangular region
has 24 square units
in its surface
