To compare the perimeters of a triangle and a square, we need to know the lengths of their sides.
1. **Perimeter of the square**:
The perimeter of a square is calculated using the formula:
\[
P = 4 \times \text{side length}
\]
2. **Perimeter of the triangle**:
The perimeter of a triangle is calculated by adding the lengths of its three sides:
\[
P = \text{side1} + \text{side2} + \text{side3}
\]
Assuming you have specific values for the side lengths of the triangle and the square, you would plug those values into the respective formulas to find the perimeters.
Once you have calculated both perimeters, you would compare them to determine which is greater.
Please provide the specific lengths of the sides of the triangle and square, and I can help you calculate their perimeters and identify the greater one.
