Find a polynomial for the perimeter and area but do not factor. A square is pictured with y+3 on top and y on side.
-----------------------------------------------
The perimeter = 2[(y+3)+y] = 3[2y+3] = 6y + 9
--------------------
The area = y(y+3) = y^2+3y
==============================

A square with one side equal to (y+3) and another side equal to y IS NOT A SQUARE it is a rectangle.
PERIMETER=2L+2W
P=2(Y+3)+2Y=2Y+6+2Y=4Y+6 ANS.
AREA=LW
A=(Y+3)Y=Y^2+3Y ANS.
