Calculating Area and Perimeter of Rectangles in the Coordinate System

Professor Good provides a tutorial on finding the area and perimeter of rectangles in a coordinate plane. The video begins with an introduction and the purpose of the lesson, followed by a detailed explanation of how to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle by identifying and measuring its sides. The tutorial then transitions to calculating the area using the base times height formula. The video concludes with a summary and encouragement for students to ask questions if needed.
