Calculating Area and Perimeter of a Square

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area and perimeter of a square. It begins by describing the properties of a square, emphasizing that all sides are equal. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the area using the formula length times width, with an example of a square with 4-inch sides, resulting in an area of 16 square inches. Next, it covers the perimeter calculation by adding all four sides or multiplying one side by four, also resulting in 16 inches.
