Answer:

16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of dilation is a factor that affects the length of the square and invariably the area. Given that the square has a side length of 64 inches and the dilation factor is 1/4,

The side length of new square will be the product of the the scaling factor and the length of the original shape.

side length of new square = 64 × 1/4

= 16 inches
