In box 1, the reason that justifies the statement, m∠BAD = m∠BAC + m∠CAD, is: angle addition postulate.
<h3>What is the Angle Addition Postulate?</h3>The angle addition postulate states that the measure of a larger angle equals the sum of smaller angles that make up the larger angle.
∠BAD comprises of ∠BAC and ∠CAD.
Therefore, based on the angle addition postulate, m∠BAD = m∠BAC + m∠CAD.
The missing reason in box 1 would be: angle addition postulate.

Answer:
x = 41.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the dotted line at the top is parallel to the segment with length x, it follows from the alternate interior angles theorem that the interior angle of the triangle (marked in diagram) is also 27º.
Using SOH-CAH-TOA, we get that tan(27º) = 21/x, so x = 21/tan(27º), which is approximately equal to 41.2.
