Asquare has a perimeter of 48 centimeters. the square is a dilated by a factor of 1.5. what is the length of each side of the new square?

18 cm is the new side length

Step-by-step explanation:

For the original side length:

Because it's a square... 48/4=12

So 12 is the original side length

Now 48 x 1.5 = 72, divide it by 4 and you get 18

You can also do it like 12 x 1.5 to directly get 18

Hope this helps!

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)

360/29
