The original side length was 12m therefore the perimeter was 36m. 12/4 is 3 so the perimeter is now 9, and the difference between them is 27.

I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.
