Given:

The lines l and m are parallel lines and x=40 degrees.

To find the angle:


\angle\text{DEF}

We know that alternate angles are equal.

So that,


\begin{gathered} \angle EDG=x \\ =40^(\circ) \end{gathered}

And then, using the angle sum property of a triangle,


\begin{gathered} \angle EDG+\angle DFE+\angle DEF=180^(\circ) \\ 40^(\circ)+40^(\circ)+\angle DEF=180^(\circ) \\ \angle DEF=180^(\circ)-40^(\circ)-40^(\circ) \\ \angle DEF=100^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Thus, the measure of angle DEF is 100 degrees.
