    48 = (2L+2W)

    when increased in scale,

    both sides are multiplied by the factor which is 1.5.

    72 = 1.5 (2L+2W)

    Find the sides by figuring out what makes sense I got two 19ft sides and two 5ft sides

    So 19*1.5 is 28.5 so now you have two 28.5ft

    Then 1.5*5 is 7.5 now you have two 7.5ft sides

    28.5+28.5+7.5+7.5=72ft which is the new perimeter
