12 each
let the larger side of the rectangle = x
smaller side = y
therefore, 2x + 2y = 18*sqrt2
or x+y = 9 sqrt2............................................eq1
diagonals of a square are equal
therefore, x = 2y...........................................eq2
plugging in eq 1
2y+y = 9 sqrt2
3y = 9 sqrt2
y = 3 sqrt2
y is the diagonal of a square, therefore the side of the square is y/sqrt2
or side of square = 3 sqrt2/sqrt2
or side of square = 3
Hence, perimeter of the square = 4(side of square)
4*3 = 12
