Answer
View full question & answer→(i) To draw a graph of given table of values, we get the following steps:
Step I Firstly, draw X-axis and Y-axis and take scale on horizontal axis 2 units = 1 cm (side of square) on vertical axis I unit = 2 cm (perimeter)
Step II Mark side of square (in cm) on horizontal axis and perimeter (in cm) on vertical axis.
Step III Now, plot the points (2, 8), (3, 12), (3.5, 14). (5, 20) and (6, 24) on the graph paper.
Step IV Join these points. Then, we get a linear graph which is shown below:

Yes, it is a linear graph.
(ii) Do same as part (i)
The line joining the points is not a straight line. So. the graph is not linear.
