Well, just read the error messages, they point exactly to the problem, in particular the second one... :!:
Correctly the snippet would be written
       double width;  /* input - width of rectangle. */
double length; /* input - length of rectangle. */
double Area;    /* output - area of rectangle */
Punctuation to terminate statements matters!  ;)

nevermind i see what u were saying about the ;'s thanks alot!!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main (void)
{
   double width;
   double length;
        double Area;

      /* get the width of rectangle. */
      printf("Enter width> ");
      scanf("%lf", &width);

      /* get the length of rectangle. */
      printf("Enter length> ");
      scanf("%lf", &length);

      /*convert to Area or rectangle. */
      Area  = width * length;
     
      /* display Area of rectangle. */
      printf( "The Area is %f . \n",  Area);

      return 0;
}

*make sure that when u open a brace, u close it after your 'return 0;'
*clearly read the errors, double-click each to see in which line the error is
*each instruction ends by a ';' not a ','
