Answer:12

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
