A is the answer.

Since DF=EF, that means angle D and angle E are equal to each other,( Isolcles Triangle Theorem).

Since one of the angle is 90, and the other angles are equal to each other.


90 + x + y = 180


x = y

so


90 + x + x = 180


2x = 90


x = 45

So the other two missing angles is 45

This makes the triangle a 45-45-90 triangle.

So this means the side DF and EF are


(21 √(2) )/(2)

Because a side that in a 45 45 triangle is


( √(2) )/(2)

times more than the hypotenuse.
