Understanding 2D and 3D Shapes

This video tutorial covers the concepts of area and perimeter for 2D shapes, including squares, rectangles, and triangles. It explains the difference between area and perimeter, provides formulas for calculating them, and demonstrates their application through examples. The tutorial also highlights the importance of understanding these concepts in practical scenarios like fencing a yard or tiling a floor.
