Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the 2 legs are congruent.

Given the perimeter is 66, then sum the 3 sides and equate to 66, that is

x + 4x - 3 + 4x - 3 = 66 , that is

9x - 6 = 66 ( add 6 to both sides )

9x = 72 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 8

kirill [66]

the scale factor used in Emily scale drawing is K = 1.63 mm/m

<h3>What scale did Emily use?</h3>

We know that Emily drew a scale drawing of a house and its lot.

In the scale drawing, the back patio is 42 millimeters long, and we know that the actual patio is 27 meters long.

Then the scale relates the measures 44mm and 27 meters, such that if the scale is K, we can write:

K*27m = 44mm

Solving for K, we can write:

K = (44/27) mm/m = 1.63 mm/m

So the scale factor used in Emily's scale drawing is K = 1.63 mm/m
