Review: Perimeter and Area

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the perimeter and area of shapes, specifically squares and rectangles. It begins by defining perimeter as the total distance around a shape and demonstrates how to calculate it by adding the lengths of the sides. The tutorial then contrasts perimeter with area, which measures the surface inside a shape, and explains how to calculate area by multiplying the length and width. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing the difference between linear and square measurements.

What is the area of a square with each side measuring 6 inches?

Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 15 inches and a width of 7 inches.
