Explanation:

let's name the 2 sides of the bisected angle a and b.

and the 2 segments (created by the bisector) of the opposite side x and y.

then we have

a/b = x/y

question 1

14/21 = x/15

1/3 = x/15

15/3 = x = 5

question 2

8/y = 4/6

8×6 = 4y

48 = 4y

y = 12

question 3

3/4.5 = z/1.5

3×1.5 = 4.5z

4.5 = 4.5z

z = 1

question 4

16.5/p = 11/(29-11) = 11/18

16.5×18 = 11p

297 = 11p

p = 27

question 5

7/13 = (15-x)/x

7x = 13×(15-x) = 195 - 13x

20x = 195

x = 195/20 = 39/4 = 9.75
