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!

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".
