The interior angles in any triangle sum to 180 degrees, so the measure of angle E is 180 - 65 - 50 = 65 degrees.

Assuming side d is opposite angle D, side e is opposite angle E, and side f is opposite angle F, we can use the law of sines to determine the side lengths e and f.


\frac{\sin D}d=\frac{\sin E}e=\frac{\sin F}f


(\sin50^\circ)/(7.5)=\frac{\sin65^\circ}e\implies e\approx8.87

Angles E and F have the same measure, so
f\approx8.87 as well.
