Asquare has a perimeter of 48 centimeters. the square is a dilated by a factor of 1.5. what is the length of each side of the new square?

18 cm is the new side length

Step-by-step explanation:

For the original side length:

Because it's a square... 48/4=12

So 12 is the original side length

Now 48 x 1.5 = 72, divide it by 4 and you get 18

You can also do it like 12 x 1.5 to directly get 18

Hope this helps!

i think it is 70

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
