Strongly speaking, there is no such term and such a notion/(conception) in Geometry as "perimeter of a cube".

There is the term, the notion and the conception of the perimeter of a polygon (triangle, square, parallelogram,
trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, decagon and so on . . . )

But not for a cube.

I think that it is more important for you to know the TRUE, rather than to solve incorrectly formulated problems

invented/composed/created by mathematically illiterate people.

To read and to learn about the conception of PERIMETER, look into this authoritative source (Wikipedia article)

You will not find there any mentions about the "perimeter of a cube".
