    A scale factor is the ratio of two similar geometric figures of their corresponding sides. The scale factor is calculated by locating the corresponding sides on each figure. We calculate as follows:

    1.5 = P2/P1

    P2 = 1.5 (48) = 72 ft

    Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
