Can't find the error on my code

Create a function named area() that takes a single argument which will be a two-member tuple. area() should return the result of multiplying the first item in the tuple by the second item in the tuple.

maps.py 
dimensions = [
    (5, 5),
    (10, 10),
    (2.2, 2.3),
    (100, 100),
    (8, 70),
]

def area(tupl):
    return tipl[0] * tupl[1]

You are going to kick yourself. ;)

You spelt tupl wrong the first time your return statement. You used tipl rather than tupl. ;)

No problem. We all make those type of errors. Later when you start using an IDE to write your own code it will highlight these type of errors for you. :)
