Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the problem

The rug is in the shape of a square, and each side measures 18 feet. We are asked to find the perimeter of the rug.

Step 2: Recall the formula for the perimeter of a square

The perimeter \( P \) of a square is given by: \[ P = 4 \times \text{side length} \]

Step 3: Substitute the given side length into the formula

The side length is 18 feet, so: \[ P = 4 \times 18 \]

Step 4: Calculate the perimeter

\[ P = 72 \]

Final Answer

The perimeter of the rug is \(\boxed{72}\) feet.
