To solve the problem of finding the area of a rectangle with given dimensions, we multiply the length by the width. Here, the length is 140 cm and the width is 35 cm. The result will give us the area in square centimeters.
Step 1: Identify the Problem
We need to find the area of a rectangle with given dimensions: length \(140 \, \text{cm}\) and width \(35 \, \text{cm}\).
Step 2: Apply the Formula for Area
The area \(A\) of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
Step 3: Substitute the Given Values
Substitute the given values into the formula:
\[
A = 140 \, \text{cm} \times 35 \, \text{cm}
\]
Step 4: Calculate the Area
Perform the multiplication:
\[
A = 4900 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
