Finding Area of a Parallelogram

Jimmy Fallon introduces a math tutorial on finding the area of a rhombus, using a question submitted by a Twitter user. He explains the formula for the area of a parallelogram, which is base times height, and applies it to a rhombus. He clarifies how to determine the base and height, ensuring the height is perpendicular to the base. The tutorial concludes with a calculation of the area, emphasizing the importance of correct units.
