1. The problem involves two separate geometric setups with unknown $x$ values to solve for.
2. First problem: A triangle with a circle inside it, where one side is 14, a segment adjacent to the circle radius is 5, and the radius is $x$.
3. The problem likely uses the Pythagorean theorem or segment addition, but since no explicit formula is given, we focus on the second problem which is clearer.
4. Second problem: Two intersecting chords in a circle. One chord is 20.4 in length, the other chord is split into parts 18 and $x$.
5. The intersecting chords theorem states: If two chords intersect inside a circle, the products of the segments of each chord are equal.
6. Using the theorem: $18 \times x = 20.4 \times (20.4 - x)$.
7. Write the equation:
$$18x = 20.4(20.4 - x)$$
8. Expand the right side:
$$18x = 20.4 \times 20.4 - 20.4x$$
9. Calculate $20.4 \times 20.4$:
$$20.4 \times 20.4 = 416.16$$
10. Substitute back:
$$18x = 416.16 - 20.4x$$
11. Add $20.4x$ to both sides:
$$18x + 20.4x = 416.16$$
12. Combine like terms:
$$38.4x = 416.16$$
13. Divide both sides by 38.4:
$$x = \frac{416.16}{38.4}$$
14. Simplify the fraction:
$$x = \cancel{\frac{416.16}{38.4}} = 10.84$$
15. Round to the nearest tenth:
$$x \approx 10.8$$
Final answer: $x \approx 10.8$
