Answer 1

4.2

Explanation:

Answer 2

`x=3.5`

Explanation:

Notice that CD bisects Angle C.

Then by the Angle Bisector Theorem, we can write the following proportion:

`(6)/(4.2)=(5)/(x)`

Now, we can solve for x. Cross multiply:

`5(4.2)=6(x)`

Multiply:

`21=6x`

Divide both sides by 6:

`x=21/6=7/2=3.5`

Hence, the vale of x is 3.5.
