Step-by-step solution

  1. Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle: area = length \times breadth.
  2. Substitute the given values: area = 8\,\text{cm} \times 4\,\text{cm}.
  3. Multiply 8 \times 4 = 32.
  4. Thus the area of the rectangle is 32\,\text{cm}^2.
Common mistake: Adding the length and breadth instead of multiplying.
