Geometry Concepts and Calculations

This video tutorial covers the basic properties of squares, rectangles, and triangles, focusing on calculating their areas and perimeters. It explains how to determine the area of a square by multiplying its side length by itself and the perimeter by summing all sides. The tutorial extends these concepts to rectangles and introduces the formula for the area of a triangle as half the product of its base and height. The video also touches on the importance of understanding dimensions and units in these calculations.

What makes a shape a square?

• All sides are equal and angles are acute.

• All sides are different and angles are acute.

• All sides are equal and angles are right angles.

• Opposite sides are equal and angles are obtuse.
