Question

The perimeter of a square is 192 centimeters. If the square is dilated by a scale factor of 0.25, what is the length of each side of the new square?

Answer 1

60cm

Explanation:

perimeter of a square=4L

192cm=4L

L=48cm

Dilated by ratio 0.25

1 : 0.25 = 48 : 12

New length = 48+12 = 60cm.
