 Area – counting squares
   AREA measures the amount of 2D space taken up by a shape
   It measures the INSIDE of a flat shape
   It is measured in squared units (cm2, mm2, km2, m2, etc)
   Each unit looks like a square
   So if a shape is made up of small squares, we can just count them to 
    find the area
   Each small square is 1cm2. The area of this rectangle is 8cm2.
