Area and Perimeter Formulas in Geometry

The video tutorial covers the area of 2D shapes, including triangles, rectangles, squares, parallelograms, trapezoids, and circles. It explains the formulas for calculating the area of each shape and provides example problems to demonstrate the application of these formulas. The lesson concludes with exercises for students to practice their understanding of the material.
