Answer:

The length of each side of the original square was 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the length side of the original square

we know that

The perimeter of a square is equal to

P=4b

where

b is the length side of the square

In this problem

b=(x+2.5)\ in

P=70\ in

substitute

70=4(x+2.5)

solve for x

70=4x+10

4x=70-10

x=60/4=15\ in
