Question

What is the value of x? Please explain if you can.

Answer 1

`x=44`

Explanation:

Since the angle bisector causes both angles at `T` to be congruent, then it has to make the same size of base. So since `22` is given on the other side, then you just have to add another `22` to it. Meaning `x` is `44`. And that `YK` is `22`. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

`47"ft"`.

Explanation:

We know, from Geometry, that,

`(VY)/(YK)=(TV)/(TK)`.

`:. 22/(YK)=77/87.5`.

`:. YK=(cancel22^2xxcancel87.5^12.5)/cancel77^cancel7=25"ft"`.

`:. x=VK=VY+YK=22+25=47"ft"`.
