Final answer:

The given information does not allow us to establish upper and lower bounds for ∠CDB using the Exterior Angle inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

To establish upper and lower bounds for mCDB, we can use the Exterior Angle inequality. According to this inequality, the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of its non-adjacent interior angles. In this case, m∠CAB is the exterior angle, and m∠ABC is one of the non-adjacent interior angles.

Therefore, we can establish the following inequality:

m∠CAB > m∠ABC

Since we are given m∠CAB = (π/7) and mxABC=(6π/11), we can substitute these values into the inequality:

(π/7) > (6π/11)

Now, we can simplify the inequality:

11π > 42π

Dividing both sides by π, we get:

11 > 42

This is a false statement, so the inequality is not true. Therefore, we cannot establish upper and lower bounds for mCDB using the given information.
