To solve this problem, we need to calculate the perimeter of the porch based on the given dimensions.

The floor plan shows the porch as an L-shaped figure with the following sides:
- 26 ft
- 126 ft
- 55 ft
- 93 ft
- 71 ft
- 119 ft

The perimeter is the sum of all the outer edges of the porch. So, we calculate:

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 26 + 126 + 55 + 93 + 71 + 119 = 490 \text{ feet}
\]

Now, we compare this perimeter to the city code, which states that the porch cannot have a perimeter greater than 560 feet. Since 490 feet is less than 560 feet, the porch is within code.

**Answers:**
- The perimeter is **490 feet**.
- Yes, the porch stays within the code.

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:
1. How would the perimeter change if the porch extended by an additional 10 feet on one side?
2. What would be the area of the porch if we could estimate it based on these dimensions?
3. How can the perimeter be adjusted to meet a different city code limit, such as 500 feet?
4. Why is it important to know the perimeter when planning construction?
5. How do irregular shapes affect perimeter calculations compared to regular polygons?

**Tip:** Always check city codes for not only the perimeter but also the area and height restrictions when planning construction projects.

John plans to build a porch with the floor plan below (measurements are in feet). In order for the porch to be up to city code, it cannot have a perimeter that is greater than 560 feet. What is the perimeter of the porch in the floor plan? Does the porch stay within the code?

Learn how to calculate the perimeter of a porch with an L-shaped floor plan using given dimensions. The solution explains the step-by-step process of adding side lengths to ensure the total perimeter of 490 feet stays within the city code limit of 560 feet. Suitable for Grades 6-8.
