we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

in this problem

m∠DGF -----> is a inscribed angle

m∠DGF=
(1)/(2)(arc\ DF)

we have


arc\ DF=153\°

substitute

m∠DGF=
(1)/(2)(153\°)=76.5\°

we know that


arc\ DGF+arc\ DF=360\°

Find the measure of arc DGF


arc\ DGF=360\°-arc\ DF


arc\ DGF=360\°-153\°=207\°

therefore

the answer is

a) the measure of inscribed angle m∠DGF is
76.5\°

b) the measure of arc DGF is
207\°
