Calculating Area and Perimeter

The video tutorial covers problem-solving techniques using figures, focusing on calculating area and perimeter. It begins with an introduction to problem-solving, followed by a demonstration of using the distributive property to find the area of a backyard. The tutorial then explores composite figures, teaching how to calculate their area and perimeter. It also includes a section on decomposing figures into rectangles to find their area. The video concludes with a test practice session and a summary of the chapter review.
