    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perimeter of a square = 4L

    Perimeter of larger square is twice the perimeter of square = 2x4L=8L

    Wire length = 18ft

    Wire length = sum of the two perimeterr

    18=4L+8L

    18=12L

    L=18/12

    L=1.5

    Perimeter of larger square=8L

    Replace Lwith 5

    Perimeter of larger square = 8x1.5

    Perimeter of larger square = 12ft

    If one piece is twice as large as the other, than 18 needs to be divided by 3, making it exact.
