Answer

$p=2(l+h)$

Work Step by Step

$y$ varies directly with $x,$ or $y$ is directly proportional to $x$, if there is a nonzero number $k$ such that$ y=kx.$ The number $k$ is called the constant of proportionality. --- Here, y is "the perimeter, p", and x = "sum of l and h" The given model is $ p=k(l+h)\quad$ Given that $k=2,$ it means that $p=2(l+h)$
