Exploring Perimeter and Area on the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial covers the basics of finding the perimeter and area of polygons in the coordinate plane. It begins with an introduction to the concepts of perimeter and area, followed by detailed steps to calculate the perimeter of various polygons using their vertices. The tutorial then explains how to find the area of triangles and parallelograms, emphasizing the use of the Pythagorean theorem for slanted sides. Finally, it addresses composite figures, demonstrating how to calculate their perimeter and area by breaking them into simpler shapes.
