Calculating Area of Rectangles

This video tutorial teaches how to calculate the area of a rectangle. It begins by defining a rectangle and its properties, such as having four right angles and equal parallel sides. The video explains that the area is calculated by multiplying the length by the width, using units like square inches or square feet. A practice example is provided with a rectangle of 4 inches by 3 inches, resulting in an area of 12 square inches. A real-life example of a basketball court is used to demonstrate the calculation, showing that the court's area is 4,500 square feet. Viewers are encouraged to try calculating the area of a real object. The video concludes with an invitation to subscribe to the educational channel for more learning opportunities.
