EXPLANATION:
Given;
We are given a rectangle with the following dimensions;
[tex]\begin{gathered} length=5cm \\ width=4cm \end{gathered}[/tex]
Required;
We are required to find the area of the rectangle;
Step-by-step solution;
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula;
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area\text{ }of\text{ }a\text{ }rectangle: \\ Area=l\times w \end{gathered}[/tex]
We shall now substitute the values given and we'll solve as follows;
[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=5\times4 \\ \\ Area=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is
