By definition, the perimeter of a square is given by:
[tex] P = 4L [/tex]
Where,
L: length of the sides of the square.
When the sides of the square are tripled, the equation changes as follows:
[tex] P '= 4 (3L) [/tex]
Then, rewriting the equation we have:
[tex] P '= 3 (4L) [/tex]
[tex] P '= 3P [/tex]
Where,
P: perimeter of the original square.
Therefore, we can conclude that the perimeter is tripled.
Answer:
The perimeter of the square is tripled.
[tex] P '= 3P [/tex]
