This video tutorial covers the topic of calculating the area and perimeter of irregular polygons. It begins with an introduction to irregular polygons, explaining their characteristics. The tutorial then provides a detailed method for calculating the perimeter by summing the lengths of all sides, including finding missing side lengths. Next, it explains how to calculate the area by dividing the shape into simpler rectangles and summing their areas. The video concludes with an invitation to ask questions and explore additional resources.

What defines an irregular polygon?

• A polygon with only right angles

• A polygon with varying side lengths and angles

• A polygon with all sides and angles equal

• A polygon that is always a hexagon
