GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Shapes & Area: Area Of Shapes - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to solve a geometry problem involving a right-angled triangle and a rectangle. The task is to find the width of the rectangle, given that its area is six times that of the triangle. The tutorial walks through calculating the area of the triangle using the formula (base x height) / 2, then finding the rectangle's area by multiplying the triangle's area by six. Finally, it demonstrates how to determine the rectangle's width by dividing its area by its known length. The tutorial emphasizes careful reading of the problem and understanding key geometric formulas.
