Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is given by the product of its length and width: \(\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}\).
2. Identify the given dimensions from the problem: the length is 11 units and the width is 5 units.
3. Substitute the given values into the area formula: \(\text{Area} = 11 \times 5\).
4. Multiply the length and width to find the area: \$11 \times 5$.
5. Express the area in square units since area measures two-dimensional space.
