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.
[tex]\dfrac{x}{1.8}=\dfrac{y}{1.4}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x}{1.8}=\dfrac{22}{1.4}[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{22}{1.4}\times 1.8[/tex]
[tex]x\approx 28.286[/tex]
Therefore, the length of side x is about 28.286 cm.
