How to Find the Area of a Parallelogram

The video tutorial explains how to draw a parallelogram and find its area using two methods: the formula method and counting squares. The formula method involves multiplying the base by the height, ensuring the height is perpendicular to the base. The counting squares method involves counting the number of squares within the parallelogram on graph paper. Both methods yield the same result, demonstrating different approaches to solving the problem.
