Perimeter and Length Calculations

Professor Perez teaches how to find the perimeter of shapes by summing side lengths. He guides Charlie through identifying missing lengths and calculating the perimeter using addition. The lesson includes a basic problem and a more advanced one, emphasizing the importance of practice and understanding addition's flexibility.
