Answer:

x = 68

Explanation:

You want the value of x in ∆GEH with an angle bisector ED that divides it so that EG = 99.2 ft, EH = 112 ft, GD = 62 ft, and HD = (x+2) ft.

Proportion

The angle bisector divides the sides of the triangle proportionally. This means ...

EH/EG = HD/GD

112/99.2 = (x+2)/62

112/99.2 · 62 = x +2 . . . . . multiply by 62

119/99.2·62 -2 = x = 68 . . . . subtract 2

The value of x is 68.
