692 Pointsmin-height value when background-size is used
In the video Nick uses both the min-value property and background-size property. If you are fixing the size of the background image with background-size, what do you gain from using min-value?

14,947 Pointsbackground-size will only fix the size of an image.
min-height will fix the size of an element (<li>, <p>, etc.). So, if you have a background-size: 50px 50px for an image, you want to set min-height of the element the image is in to at least 50px or part of the image may be cut off.
