Backyard Project Area and Measurements

The video tutorial explains linear measurements, such as length, width, and height, and their applications in calculating perimeter and circumference. It discusses a backyard design project, focusing on cost-effective solutions using landscape timbers. The tutorial also covers area measurements, explaining how to calculate the surface area of shapes using length and width. Practical applications of these calculations are demonstrated through real-world examples, such as determining the area for pavers in a backyard.

What type of measurement is used to determine the distance around a shape?

• Perimeter

• Density

• Volume

• Area

Why are landscape timbers chosen for the backyard project?
