Area and volume
Description
This video describes how to calculate the area of rectangles and other shapes-both geometrical and irregular-and how to determine the volume of a rectangular solid. Dramatized segments and computer animations focus on calculating lawn dimensions at a sod farm; creatively redesigning a cereal box while retaining the original volume; and using the Pythagorean Theorem to work out the coverage area for a kitchen floor being tiled diagonally.
