Answer:
- 98 mm
- 50 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Angle bisector TY divides the figure into proportional parts:
YV/TV = YK/TK
YV = TV·(YK/TK) = 57·68/129.2 = 30
Then x = YV +YK = 30 +68
x = 98 . . . mm

2. The formula for area of a triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
Filling in the given numbers, we have ...
336 = 1/2·48h
h = 336/24 = 14
So, the legs of the right triangle are 14 and 48. The length of the hypotenuse (c) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = 14^2 +48^2 = 196 +2304 = 2500
c = √2500 = 50 . . . cm
The length of the hypotenuse is 50 cm.

You may recognize this as a multiple of the 7-24-25 Pythagorean triple.
