Area Is Length Times Width

no one: guys getting paid 3x your salary: I never get why area is length times width. Times here means multiplication. If you take a length of 3cm and multiply it by width of 2 cm, you are adding 3cm twice, which gets you 6cm. why is that the 'area'. Actually, what does area even mean? Of course I understand that you have to multiply the units too, so it's actually 6cm squared. But cm squared as a concept is even more baffling. Someone explain to me like I am five the idea of area and why it's length times width.

A meme contrasts “no one” with guys earning three times your salary, showing a social-media post from someone who cannot understand why the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width. The punchline is that highly paid tech workers are jokingly portrayed as baffled by elementary geometry, making fun of overthinking simple concepts and the stereotype of tech-industry salaries.
