Given:

The actual length of side y is 22cm.

To find:

The length of side x by using the scale drawing.

Solution:

We know that the corresponding sides of original figure and scale drawing are proportional.

(x)/(1.8)=(y)/(1.4)

(x)/(1.8)=(22)/(1.4)

x=(22)/(1.4)* 1.8

$x\approx 28.286$

Therefore, the length of side x is about 28.286 cm.
