I'm not entirely sure the format you want the answer in but the table filled out is

1 triangle/ perimeter of 17
2 triangles/ perimeter of 22
3 triangles/ perimeter of 27

The relationship is every time you add a triangle the perimeter goes up 5
So it's something like

perimeter= 17+5(# of triangles)

So if P=perimeter and T= # of additional triangles, the relationship would be

P= 17+5t

Answer would be P= 17+5t
Solution:

1 triangle/ perimeter of 172 triangles/ perimeter of 223 triangles/ perimeter of 27

perimeter= 17+5
So if P=perimeter
and T= # of additional triangles
SO the relation would be P= 17+5t.
