    24 in

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the side of the square (s) = 2x in

    Then a rectangle is 2x in long and x in wide

    P = 2l + 2w

    18 = 2*2x + 2x = 4x + 2x = 6x

    x = 18/6 = 3 in

    The side of the square is

    s = 2x = 2 * 3 = 6 in

    P = 4s = 4 * 6 = 24 in

    The perimeter of the square is 24 in.
