Calculating Perimeter from Scale Drawings using Ratios and Proportions

This video tutorial teaches how to compute the actual perimeter from a scale drawing using ratios and proportions. It explains the concept of proportions, demonstrates how to find missing side lengths through cross-multiplying, and highlights common mistakes in setting up proportions. The tutorial also covers calculating the ratio of perimeters using scale factors and applies these concepts to practical scenarios, such as framing a poster. By the end, viewers will understand how to use ratios and proportions to solve real-world problems involving perimeter calculations.
