Area and Perimeter Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to find the area and perimeter of a shape on a grid. It emphasizes understanding the difference between area, which is the space a shape covers, and perimeter, which is the length around the shape. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to calculating both area and perimeter by counting grid squares and edges, respectively. It highlights the importance of accurately counting to ensure correct calculations.

What is the main task in the given problem?
