#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"#.
