Area and Perimeter of Parallelograms

The video tutorial explains how to determine the perimeter and area of a parallelogram. It begins by discussing the properties of a parallelogram, emphasizing that opposite sides have equal lengths. The tutorial then provides a detailed calculation of the perimeter by summing the lengths of all sides. Following this, the video demonstrates how to calculate the area using the formula base times height, with a step-by-step multiplication process. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the calculations and a final note on the results.
