Answer:

  • EF = 4.1
  • DE = 9.1
  • m∠F = 66°

Explanation:

The hypotenuse and one acute angle are given. The relevant relations are ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

__

For the given triangle, these tell us ...

sin(24°) = EF/DF = EF/10

EF = 10·sin(24°) ≈ 4.1

and ...

cos(24°) = DE/DF = DE/10

DE = 10·cos(24°) ≈ 9.1

The remaining acute angle is the complement of the given one:

F = 90° -D = 90° -24°

∠F = 66°
