Video Summary

The problem involves two identical rectangles, each with an area of 18, overlapping to form a new rectangle made up of three identical squares. By observing that one of the original rectangles matches the size of two squares, we see each square has half the area of the original rectangle. Dividing 18 by 2 results in each square having an area of 9. With three squares in the new rectangle, the total area is calculated by multiplying 9 (the area of one square) by 3, yielding an area of 27 for the new rectangle.
