Let us assume that L=2a and B=a of rectangle,---->1
As you have mentioned Perimeter of rectangle is given ,let the value be 10.

P for rect=2L+2B ,as per euq -->1 L=2B --->2

2(2B)+2B=10 ----- >  by slvng  B=5/3 ,sub B in  equ-2,,,so L=10/3.

Now consider a square inscribed in a rect as

Now consider a square inscribed in a rect as 4a=Per of sqaure.

Sub value of A in, 4A,so perimeter of square can be calculated.
