Finding the Area of a Complex Shape

This video tutorial teaches how to find the area of complex shapes using subtraction. It begins with a review of rectangle properties and clarifies the difference between perimeter and area. The lesson then demonstrates calculating the area of a yard by subtracting the area of a doghouse. Finally, it covers finding the area of a yard excluding a swing set and a shed, reinforcing the concept of using subtraction to determine the area of complex shapes.
