Exploring Area and Perimeter of Parallelograms

This video tutorial covers the concepts of perimeter and area for rectangles, squares, and parallelograms. It begins with an introduction to these geometric shapes and their properties. The tutorial then provides formulas for calculating the perimeter and area of each shape, followed by practice examples to reinforce understanding. The video concludes with word problems that apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.

What formula is used to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle?

• P = l + w
