The measure of the perimter of a figure does not use square units. Square units are used to measure the area of a figure. The perimeter of a figure is set down in linear measure, and is simply stated in units of length.
An example might be a square of 1 metre on a side. It's area is 1 metre squared, but its perimter is the distance around it, or 1 metre + 1 metre + 1 metre + 1 metre = 4 metres.
