Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape (it is the sum of the length of the sides), in our case the shape is square. A square has 4 equal sides. So, the perimeter is: p (x) = x+x+x+x = 4x

The equation that represent "the perimeter of a square as a function of a side" is:

p (x) = 4x
