Calculating Perimeter and Area of Rectangles in the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial explains how to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle on a coordinate plane. It begins by plotting the rectangle's vertices, then calculates the side lengths. The perimeter is found by adding the lengths of all sides, while the area is determined by multiplying the lengths of two adjacent sides. The tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to solving these geometric problems.
