2. Calculate the area of a rectangle with a length of 12 cm and a width of 4 cm.

Step 1: Identify the given dimensions

We are given the length and width of the rectangle. The length is 12 cm and the width is 4 cm. These are the values we will use in our calculation.

Step 2: Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle

The formula for the area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. This formula helps us calculate the space enclosed by the rectangle.

Step 3: Substitute the values and calculate the area

Now, we substitute the given length (12 cm) and width (4 cm) into the area formula. Multiplying these values gives us the area of the rectangle in square centimeters.
