Find the area of a rectangle if its side is 14 and the height dropped to this side is 12.

In a rectangle, all angles are 90 degrees, that is, all sides are perpendicular. Therefore, the height lowered to one side will be the second side of the rectangle.
The area of the rectangle is found by the formula:
S = ab,
where a is one side of the rectangle, b is the second side of the rectangle.
S = 12 * 14 = 168 (conventional square units).
Answer: S = 168 conventional square units.
