Calculating Area of Rectangles

This video tutorial teaches how to calculate the area of a rectangle. It begins by defining a rectangle and explaining its properties, such as having four right angles and equal parallel sides. The concept of area is introduced, with a focus on different units of measurement. The formula for calculating the area, length times width, is demonstrated through examples, including a practical application involving a basketball court. Viewers are encouraged to practice calculating area with real-life objects. The video concludes with a summary and an invitation to subscribe for more educational content.
