1. Let x be a length of square side, then the square perimeter is 4x (you need to cut 4x from 16 in. to make a square with side x in.). Then 16-4x is remained length of wire and you have to make form this piece a rectangle with sides one of which is twice bigger than another. If y is length of the smaller side, then 2y is length of the bigger side and rectangle perimeter is y+2y+y+2y=6y. You have 16-4x in. of wire left, so 6y=16-4x and
