Use 45 45 90 triangle to determine the height for the area of a parallelogram

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a parallelogram by identifying its base and height. It emphasizes the use of special right triangles, specifically the 45-45-90 triangle, to determine the height. The tutorial walks through the process of calculating the area using the formula base times height, and demonstrates how to handle the calculations involving square roots. The final area is calculated and expressed in square yards.
