12.7  
Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can easily calculate the length of BC.
So: 
BC = sqrt(12^2 - 6^2) = sqrt(144 - 36) = sqrt(108) = 10.39230485  
Now consider triangle BCD. You know all three angles and one side. Using the law of sines you know that ratio of the sine of each angle over the opposite side is constant. So: 
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90) 
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90) 
sin(90)BC/sin(55) = CD 
1*BC/sin(55) = CD 
BC/sin(55) = CD 
10.39230485/0.819152044 = CD 
12.68666167 = CD 
12.7 = CD

Answer:

  • 1) 64, 2) 6, 3) 26, 4) 33

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>#1</h3>

<u>Sum of interior angles is 180</u>

  • 70 + 46 + x = 180
  • 116 + x = 180
  • x = 64
<h3>#2</h3>

<u>Sum of interior angles is 180</u>

  • 84 + 7x + 1 + 9x - 1 = 84
  • 16x + 84 = 180
  • 16x = 96
  • x = 6
<h3>#3</h3>

<u>Vertical angles are same, the sum of remaining angles is same for both triangles:</u>

  • 35 + 25 = 34 + x
  • 60 = 34 + x
  • x = 60 - 34
  • x = 26
<h3>#4</h3>

<u>Exterior angle is same as the sum of non-adjacent interior angles:</u>

  • 5x - 7 + 6x + 3 = 84
  • 11x - 4 = 84
  • 11x = 88
  • x = 8
  • m∠G = 5x - 7 = 5*8 - 7 = 40 - 7 = 33
