Answer:

x = 5


m\angle DEF = 90\degree

Explanation:

GE is the angle bisector of quadrilateral DEFG,

Thus, by angle bisector property:

9x°= (5x + 20)°

9x = 5x + 20

9x - 5x = 20

4x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 5


m\angle DEF = 9x\degree + (5x+20)\degree


m\angle DEF = (14x+20)\degree


m\angle DEF = (14* 5+20)\degree


m\angle DEF = (70+20)\degree


m\angle DEF = 90\degree
