Calculating Perimeter and Area

Mr. Laner introduces a math lesson on constant area and changing perimeter using treehouse examples. The first example involves calculating the area and perimeter for Aaliyah and Mike's treehouse floor. The second example focuses on Trinity and Jenna's treehouse, where a wall divides the space, requiring separate calculations for each section. The lesson concludes with a summary and closing remarks.
