how to calculate the area of a rectangle in matlab

To calculate the area of a rectangle in MATLAB, you need to multiply its length by its width. Here's a sample code to achieve this:

main.m
% assign the value of length and width
length = 5;
width = 2;

% calculate the area
area = length * width;

% display the result
fprintf('The area of the rectangle is: %.2f\n', area);

In this code, we assigned the values of length and width to be 5 and 2 respectively. The formula for the area of a rectangle is then applied by multiplying the length and width. The result is stored in a variable called area. Finally, we use the fprintf function to display the result, formatted to two decimal places using the %f and .2 syntax.
