What is the unit used for the area of a rectangle, given length and width in consistent units?

• A. Square meters
• B. Square centimeters
• C. Square units
• D. Square feet

Answer: (C)

Area comes from multiplying length by width, and when those measurements use the same unit, you square that unit. If a specific unit isn’t given, the area is described in square units. For example, lengths in meters give square meters, in centimeters give square centimeters, and so on. Since the problem doesn’t specify a particular unit, the general, best description is square units. The other options are correct only when the length unit is explicitly known.
