Why do people need this calculator?

When people want to find the area of the rectangle, they can use the formula "lxw" and find the area for the given length and width. But the problem that the students have is, "how to write the units". If both  length and width are given in inches, then the area of the rectangle would be square inches. If both length and width are given in feet, the answer would be in square feet.  

When length is given in one unit and width is given different unit, students get confused to find the area. Our rectangular area calculator will give you the area of the rectangle even if we give length and width in different units. That is, if we give the length in feet and width in inches, it will calculate the area of the rectangle in four kinds of units. They are acres, square yards, square feet, square inches.
