Finding Area of Rectangles and Parallelograms

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and squares using the formula base times height. It provides several examples, including working with fractional bases, finding side lengths from area, and calculating total wall space for multiple picture frames. The tutorial emphasizes identifying the base and height that form a right angle and demonstrates how to solve for unknown dimensions.
