You can't be serious....
$$A = 200 \cdot 80$$

Okay. Let's break it down. 

Area of a rectangle is$$A = l \cdot w$$which is the length and width of the rectangle|dw:1333602576062:dw|
This is given as such in the problem statement. 

If the length and the width are both given, we can simply multiply them together. 

Where are you getting confused?
