Tiling Rectangles and Area Calculation

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a rectangle by tiling it into rows and columns. It uses a rectangle that is 6 inches long and 3 inches wide as an example. The instructor demonstrates that by dividing the rectangle into rows and columns, you can calculate the area by multiplying the number of rows by the number of columns. This method is equivalent to counting all the tiles, providing a clear understanding of why this multiplication method works for finding the area of a rectangle.
