Pronunciation & Spelling
Area (/ˈɛriə/) rhymes with malaria (/məˈlɛriə/) in American pronunciation, since both have /ˈɛriə/ at the stressed-vowel ending. Aria looks like the final part of malaria but begins with /ɑː/, and bacteria, cafeteria, criteria, and diarrhea all use /ɪ/ or /iː/ rather than /ɛ/ before /riə/, so they do not rhyme.
