Answer:

m∠E = 113

Explanation:

Given that ΔDEF ≅ ΔPQR

We know that the following angles are congruent

∠D ≅ ∠P

∠E ≅ ∠Q

∠F ≅ ∠R

Now how do we know how these angles are congruent?

Well because if a triangle statement is given and the two triangles are congruent we can infer that the angles (in order) are congruent

Meaning: because D and P are the first letters of each triangle in the statement they have congruent angles if that makes sense.

So we are also given that

∠R = 13 and ∠D = 54

and we need to find ∠E

Remember like stated previously ∠R ≅ ∠F so ∠F = 13°

Now that we have found two angles in the triangle ΔDEF we can find the missing angle (∠E)

Using the triangle angle rule (the angles in a triangle add up to equal 180)

so ∠E = 180 - ∠D - ∠F

now we plug in the given information

∠E = 180 - 54 - 13

180 - 54 = 126

126 - 13 = 113

so ∠E = 113
