By definition, a square is a Quadrilateral. All its sides have equal length. Then, the perimeter of a square can be calculated with the following formula:
[tex]P=4s[/tex]Where "s" is length of any side of the square.
In this case you know that "s" is:
[tex]s=17ft[/tex]Then, you can substitute this value into the formula and then evaluate, in order to find the perimeter of this square. Therefore, you get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=(4)(17ft) \\ P=68ft \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is:
[tex]P=68ft[/tex]
