KS2 Primary Maths Age 9-13 - Measure: Perimeters and Areas - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a square given that it has the same perimeter as a regular hexagon. It begins by defining the properties of a square and a regular hexagon, then calculates the perimeter of the hexagon using its side length. The perimeter is used to determine the side length of the square, which is then used to calculate its area. The tutorial also discusses the scoring method for the problem, emphasizing the importance of both the correct answer and method.
