Why is area a scalar quantity?

Area is a scalar quantity because there is no need of direction to define and also follow the algebraic summation. When we talk about vector there exists a frame of reference with a certain origin. It actually depends on the fact of the physical area, but if that factor changes to a non-directional object such as a rug spread on the floor, you can consider the area or a region as a scalar. (*Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.)

Hope this helps!
