The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a floor to determine the amount of carpet needed. It covers measuring the length and width of a rectangular room and using the formula Area = Length x Width. The tutorial also discusses common units for area, such as square feet, square yards, and square meters. An example with slate tiles is provided to reinforce the concept, demonstrating how to verify the area calculation by counting tiles and measuring the room dimensions.
