When a figure is dilated by a scale factor, the angles in the figure remain unchanged. Therefore, the measure of angle \( CDE \) will be the same as the measure of angle \( C'D'E' \).

We are given that:

\[
\angle C'D'E' = 119^\circ
\]

Since dilation does not change the measure of angles, we have:

\[
\angle CDE = \angle C'D'E' = 119^\circ
\]

Thus, the measure of angle \( CDE \) is:

\[
\angle CDE = 119^\circ
\]
