Answer:
The perimeter of the second square is 36 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Represent the sides of the squares with S1 and S2.
So:
--- Scale factor
--- perimeter of the first
Required
Calculate P2, the perimeter of the second
Represent the ratios of the perimeter:

Substitute 12 for P1

Equate both scale factors

Convert to fraction

Cross multiply


The rule of the transformation is
(x,y)->(-y,x)
which corresponds to a 90 counterclockwise rotation about the origin,
which in turn corresponds to a 270 clockwise rotation about the origin.
Note that all rotations preserve lengths and angles, hence the image and preimage are congruent.
The expression can be written as:
(2x + 5) - 3
or:
5 + (2x - 3)
