Understanding Perimeter and City Code Requirements

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the perimeter of a porch to ensure it meets city code requirements, which stipulate that the perimeter must not exceed 300 feet. The instructor demonstrates the calculation process by adding the lengths of the porch's sides and confirms that the total perimeter of 290 feet complies with the code.

What is the maximum allowable perimeter for the porch according to city code?

• 250 feet

• 300 feet

• 350 feet

• 400 feet

Which of the following best describes a perimeter?

• The height of the object

• The area of the object

• The volume of the object
