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.
