Introduction to Parallelograms

The video tutorial introduces the concept of a parallelogram, a four-sided geometric shape with equal and parallel opposite sides and angles. It explains how to calculate the area of a parallelogram by multiplying the base by the height, using a wooden parallelogram example with a base of 10 cm and a height of 6 cm, resulting in an area of 60 square centimeters. Additionally, the video notes that two equal-sized triangles can fit inside a parallelogram, providing further insight into its geometric properties.
