Geometry: Area and Perimeter Concepts

This video tutorial covers the concepts of perimeter and area for four different shapes: square, rectangle, rhombus, and parallelogram. It explains how to calculate the perimeter, which is the distance around the outside of a shape, and the area, which is the space within the shape. The tutorial provides examples and emphasizes understanding over memorization of formulas. It highlights the importance of using the correct dimensions, especially for shapes like rhombuses and parallelograms, where the height must be perpendicular to the base.
