Answer:

P = 4s

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a geometric shape is simply the sum of all its sides length. Since the shape in question is a square, which means that all of the four sides have the same length 's', the perimeter can be expressed by:

$P = s+s+s+s\\P=4s$

For any value of 's', the formula above expresses the perimeter 'P' as a function of 's'
