Calculating Perimeter of Shapes

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the perimeter of a square garden for fencing purposes. It begins by introducing the problem of determining how much fencing Marta needs. The concept of perimeter is explained as the total length around the garden. The tutorial then walks through the steps of adding the lengths of all sides of the square to find the total perimeter, concluding with the final calculation of 20 feet.
