Exploring Perimeter and Area of Polygons

This video tutorial covers the concepts of perimeter and area in geometry, focusing on polygons. It explains how to calculate the perimeter by adding the sides and using the Pythagorean theorem for slanted lines. The tutorial also covers area calculation for rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids, emphasizing the base times height formula. Additionally, it demonstrates finding areas in coordinate geometry by decomposing complex shapes into simpler ones.

What is the perimeter of a polygon?

• Product of the lengths of all its sides

• Sum of the lengths of all its sides

• By counting the units along the vertical side

• By measuring diagonally across the shape

What method is used to calculate the area of a slanted triangle on a coordinate plane?

• Division from a larger triangle

• Subtraction from a larger rectangle

• Addition to a smaller rectangle

• Multiplication with a similar triangle
