Answer:
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6 = 4x/7
7x + 42 = 4x
7x - 4x = -42
3x = -42
x = -42 ÷ 3
x = -14

Proof
AC = DB
AB = DC
BC = BC This side is equal to itself and is common to both triangles.
Three sides of one triangle equal to 3 sides of the other means that the triangles are congruent. It is the Theorem you need.
There will be two squares.
Think about it: The shorter side is 3.5 feet. The longer side is 7 feet. If he cuts it in half on the longer side, he's taking the length of that longer side, and dividing it by 2. 7/2=3.5.
So, you'd have two squares, both with a length and width of 3.5 feet.
