Answer: 22 ft²

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length and width. It doesn't matter which is which as we get the same answer in the end.

Given information:

Length = 11 ft

Width = 2 ft

Area = length x width

Area = 11 ft x 2 ft = 22 ft²

You'll notice the unit is feet squared or ft², because feet x feet gives us feet².
