Answer 1

To find the measure of ∠F, we need to know the measure of ∠D. Given that m∠D = (4x+8)°, we can set up an equation:

m∠D + m∠E = 180°

(4x+8)° + (x+17)° = 180°

Combine like terms:

5x + 25 = 180

Subtract 25 from both sides:

5x = 155

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 31

Now that we know the value of x, we can find the measure of ∠D:

m∠D = (4x+8)°

m∠D = (4(31)+8)°

m∠D = 124°

Since ∠F is a vertical angle with ∠D, ∠F will have the same measure as ∠D.

Therefore, the measure of ∠F is 124°.
