The video explores whether figures with the same perimeter can have different areas. Vaughn Crowder demonstrates this concept using two rectangles and a circle, each with a perimeter of 18 inches. The first rectangle has an area of 20 square inches, while the second, longer rectangle has an area of 8 square inches. A circle with the same perimeter has an area of 25.7 square inches. This illustrates that figures with identical perimeters can indeed have varying areas.
