Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter of square formula

A square has 4 equal sides. The perimeter \( P \) of a square is the sum of all its sides. If each side is length \( x \), then the perimeter is \( 4 \times x \).

Step2: Write the function

So the function \( P(x) \) that represents the perimeter of the square with side length \( x \) is \( P(x) = 4x \).

Answer:

\( P(x) = 4x \)
