Understanding Rectangles and Area

This video tutorial teaches how to calculate the area of a rectangle. It begins by explaining the properties of rectangles, including their right angles and parallel sides. The concept of area is introduced, with a focus on different units of measurement. The formula for calculating the area, which is length times width, is demonstrated through examples. A real-life scenario involving a basketball court is used to apply the concept. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to practice calculating area with objects around them and invites them to subscribe for more educational content.

What is a rectangle?
