Answer:

DF=FE

Explanation:

first to make it easier we can find the angles to each side

the sum of all angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees so to find x we set all the angles equal to 180

(3x+5)+(4x-15)+(2x+10)=180

9x+0=180

/9. /9

x=20

now we can find each angle

3(20)+5

60+5

D=65 degrees

4(20)-15

80-15

E= 65 degrees

2(20)+10

40+10

F=50 degrees

Angle D and E are the only angles equal to each other so answer C and d ARE INCORRECT

Since there are 2 of the same angles this is an isosceles triangle

the 2 of the same angles are the base so the side going up are connecting to the top angle F so the sides will be DF and FE and these are equal

hopes this helps
