What is the length of one side of the new square?Step One Find the lengths of the sides of the original square, givenescribes theen the lengthsdes. It does notnship betweenfigures orits area.The area is 64. If the sides are n, then n x n = 64 and n=ibusStep Two Multiply the length by the scale factor.8x =The length of the new square is 12 inches.

Answer 1

Following the setps we have that

$\begin{gathered} n\cdot n=64 \\ n^2=64 \\ n=\sqrt[]{64}=8 \end{gathered}$

the lengths of the sides of the original square is 8 inches each one. Now we are going to find the lengths of the sides of the new square following the step 2

$8\cdot\frac{3}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12$

the lengths of the sides of new square is 12 inches each one.
