What are the values of w and x in the triangle below? Round the answers to the nearest tenth.
A triangle diagram is shown.• The diagram shows one large outer right triangle with a vertical leg labeled 12 and a horizontal leg composed of 2 adjacent line segments. The segment to the left is labeled w and the adjoining segment on the right is labeled x.
• A small square is located at the point of intersection of the vertical and horizontal legs.
• A line segment connects the top of the vertical leg with the right end of the segment labeled w. The angle formed by the intersection of these segments measures 42 degrees.
• A second line segment connects the top of the vertical leg with the right end of the segment labeled x. The angle formed by the intersection of these segments measures 27 degrees.

w = 13.3; x = 10.3
w = 13.3; x = 10.3
w = 10.8; x = 6.1
w = 10.8; x = 6.1
w = 13.3; x = 23.6
w = 13.3; x = 23.6
w = 10.8; x = 16.9
w = 10.8; x = 16.9
