the complete question in the attached figure
we know that
angle < DEF is an inscribed angle.
An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle which is formed by two intersecting chords.
The inscribed angle measures half of the arc it comprises
the arc it comprises is the arc DCF
the arc DCF is equal to


(360-248)=112 degrees

Hence
∡DEF is equal to arc DCF/2

(112/2)=56 degrees

the answer is
∡DEF=
56°

The figure attached has <DEF which is an inscribed angle. An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle which is formed by two intersecting chords. According to formulas, the measurement of arc DF is twice the measurement of ∡DEF. Arc DF is equal to 360-248 or 112. Hence ∡DEF is equal to 56 degrees.
