  1. because it is found by multiplying length by width. and it is a number.

    derived just means found by means of something else.  in this case multiplication.


  2. 3. to reach or obtain by reasoning; deduce; infer.  

    Quantity= unit of measurement.

    L= 2 ft

    W= 2 ft

    Area= 4 ft ^2
