Answer:

D. 28

Explanation:

Given:

m∠AFD = 90°

m∠AFB = 31°

Required:

m∠DFE

Solution:

m<AFB = m<CFD (both angles are marked as congruent angles)

Since m<AFB = 31°, therefore,

m<CFD = 31°

m<AFB + m<CFD + m<BFC = m<AFD

Plug in the known values

31° + 31° + m<BFC = 90°

62° + m<BFC = 90°

Subtract 62° from each side

m<BFC = 90° - 62°

m<BFC = 28°

m<BFC = m<DFE = 28° (both angles are marked congruent to each other)

Therefore,

m<DFE = 28°
