Finding the Area of a Rectangle Using Smaller Rectangles

This video tutorial teaches how to find the area of rectangles and squares by breaking them into smaller rectangles. It explains the concept of area, differentiates it from perimeter, and provides examples of calculating the area of two adjacent rectangles. The tutorial also covers decomposing a larger rectangle into smaller parts to simplify area calculation, reinforcing the multiplication of length and width to find the area.
