The measure of ∠CAB is 118 inches.
The measure of angle upper C upper A upper B is 118 inches.

The measure of ∠CAB is 59 inches.
The measure of angle upper C upper A upper B is 59 inches.

The measure of ∠CAB is 59°.
The measure of angle upper C upper A upper B is 59 degrees .

The measure of ∠CAB is 118°.

Since Fernanda constructed a copy of ∠CAB and labeled it as ∠FDE, and then measured ∠FDE to be 59°, this means that the two angles are congruent by definition (which means they have the same measure). Therefore, the original angle ∠CAB must also measure 59°.

Thus, the correct answer is:

The measure of ∠CAB is 59°.
The measure of angle CAB is 59 degrees.

So the option stating "The measure of ∠CAB is 59°." is the correct answer. The other options incorrectly state the measure of ∠CAB.
