The **length **is 6 cm and width is 6 cm. 
 What is Area? 
 **Area **is the entire amount of **space occupied **by a flat (2-D) surface or an object's shape. The area of a plane figure is the area that its perimeter encloses . The quantity of unit squares that cover a closed figure's surface is its area. 
 The Formula for **Area **of rectangle 
 = length x width 
 We have Alexa drew a rectangle with an **area **of 36 square centimeters. 
 and, **Perimeter **P = 2L + 2W 
 P = 2(36/W) + 2W 
 P = (72/W) + 2W 
 -72/W² + 2 = 0 
 -72/W² = -2 
 W² = 36 
 W = 6 cm 
 and, **Length **= 36/6 = 6 cm
