For any square, the length of one side is s.

A square has four sides of equal length.

The perimeter of the square is the sum of the lengths of the four sides.

P = s + s + s + s = 4s

Now we compare the perimeter with one side.

The ratio of the perimeter to one side is 4s/s = 4/1 = 4:1

The perimeter of every square is proportional to the length of one side of the square, and the ratio of the perimeter to one side is 4 to 1.
