Learn to find the area of a parallelogram

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a parallelogram by comparing it to a rectangle. It highlights the importance of identifying the correct height in a parallelogram, which differs from a rectangle due to the absence of right angles. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the area using the base and height, emphasizing the need to measure the perpendicular distance from the base to the top. The final calculation shows the area of a given parallelogram, reinforcing the concept.
