The perimeter of any plane figure is the distance all the way around it. For an equilateral triangle, it is 3 times the measure of one of the sides. For a square it is 4 times the measure of one of the sides.

Measure one side of your square. Multiply by 4. Then multiply by 2. Then subtract 7. You will now have the perimeter of the triangle.
