1 Answer

Area is a square unit of measurement, which tells you how many square units a specific shape or object takes up. Length is a linear measurement, and refers to the number of unit segments one can place along a shape, line, or curve.

If a rectangle has a length of 8 inches and width of 6 inches, it occupies 48 square feet of space, but only has 28 inches of linear measurement.
