Answer 9

The two triangles created by the bisector are proportional. So there are the 2 possibilities as shown in the picture above (depending on whether the 7.4 side is adjacent the 4 side, or the 6 side).

In one possibility, you have \[\frac{ 7.4 }{ 6 }=\frac{ x }{ 4 }\]Solve it for x.

In the other possibility, you have \[\frac{ x }{ 6 }=\frac{ 7.4 }{ 4 }\]Solve it for x.

One is the minimum, and the other is the maximum.
