Perimeter and Area: Calculating Perimeter

The video tutorial introduces units of distance and length, such as miles, kilometers, feet, meters, inches, and centimeters. It explains how to calculate the perimeter of polygons, focusing on rectangles and squares. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths and widths, while the perimeter of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by four. Examples include measuring a room and a piece of paper to find their perimeters.

If a rectangular room has a length of 16 feet and a width of 14 feet, what is its perimeter?

What is the perimeter of a square piece of paper with each side measuring 20 centimeters?
