Finding the Perimeter of a Rectangle: Applying the Formula

This video tutorial teaches how to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle using a formula. It begins with an introduction to the concept of perimeter and explains the measurements of length and width in rectangles. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the perimeter by adding the lengths and widths, and introduces the formula P = 2L + 2W. Common misunderstandings are addressed, and practical applications, such as determining if a given length of fence is sufficient for a dog pen, are explored. By the end, viewers will understand how to apply the perimeter formula to solve real-world problems.
