To find the perimeter of a square, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \text{side length} \]
Given that the side length of the square is \( 2\sqrt{12} \), we can substitute this value into the formula:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times (2\sqrt{12}) \]
Calculating the multiplication:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 8\sqrt{12} \]
Next, we simplify \( \sqrt{12} \):
\[ \sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3} \]
Now, substitute \( \sqrt{12} \) back into the perimeter expression:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 8 \times 2\sqrt{3} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 16\sqrt{3} \]
Therefore, the perimeter of the square is
\[ \boxed{16\sqrt{3}} \]
