 The length and width of your rectangle would be your two factors and then the total number of tiles in the rectangle would be the answer to your multiplication problem.For instance, in order to determine 3 × 4, one would take three positive unit tiles to represent three rows in the rectangle and then there would be four positive unit tiles to represent the columns in the rectangle.This would lead to having a rectangle with four columns of three positive unit tiles, which represents 3×4.
