The video tutorial explains how to find the perimeter of a rectangle using three different strategies. The first strategy involves adding all the sides of the rectangle. The second strategy uses the concept of doubling the lengths and widths, and applying the formula 2l + 2w. The third strategy simplifies the process by adding two adjacent sides and doubling the result. Each method is explained with examples, and the importance of using the correct units is emphasized. The video encourages viewers to practice these strategies to become proficient in calculating the perimeter.
