Perimeter is just a distance. It's the distance you have to walk in order to go all
the way around the drawing and rerturn to the starting point. Since it's just a
distance, it's described with units of distance (length). Inch, foot, meter, mile,
smoot, and furlong are all fine. No square unit or cubic unit works for this job.
The perimeter of a 4 foot square is 16.
A 2x12x12 foot board would not be measured in square feet but cubic feet and there would be 240 feet3
The area of a square with a 12-foot perimeter is: nine square feet.
Square foot is a measure of area. Cubic foot is a measure of volume. They are not equal.

You can not compare a square foot to a cubic foot because they are 2 different quantities!
There is a foot, a square foot, and a cubic foot, but there is no such thing as a square cubic foot. A foot and a square foot have no volume, so they're not related to gallons in any way. One cubic foot is the same volume as 7.48052 gallons. (rounded)
one foot on each side off the perimeter
The perimeter will be four feet.

A linear foot is a straight-line measurement, rather than a sqare-foot measurement. A 2x4 that is five feet long would be five linear feet. Moreover, since a square is measured by its perimeter, a 5x5 square would be 20 linear feet (5+5+5+5).By comparison, its area would be measured in square rather than in linear feet. Consequently, its area would be 25 square feet (5x5). If the square were cubed, then its area would be 125 cubic feet (5x5x5).Linear foot is a term used to describe a measurement. It basically means something is being measured in one straight line. A linear foot still measures 12 inches.
Volume is measured in cubic feet. So a cubic foot would have 1 foot height, 1 foot lenghth, and 1 foot width.
