Final answer:

The student's question about the incorrect statement for a triangle with congruent base angles and given side lengths cannot be answered without additional context or a diagram. All statements appear correct based on the information provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking which of the following statements is incorrect about a triangle DEF with congruent base angles E and F and sides DE, DF, and EF of given lengths. Given the lengths as part of the question, the incorrect statement cannot be identified based solely on the provided information. All statement options given regarding the lengths of the sides and the congruency of the angles seem to be correct unless there is additional context or a diagram that shows otherwise. Furthermore, based on the additional information, I would like to note that the Pythagorean theorem applies to right triangles, congruent triangles have equal angles and sides, and the examples given are basic geometric and logical facts.
