Answer:

DE = 4.24

Explanation:

The diagram is not shown; However, the question can still be solved without the diagram.

Having said that,.

Given that

DF = EF = 3

This implies that DE is the hypothenus and will be solved using Pythagoras theorem.

DE² = EF² + DF²

Substitute 3 for EF and DF

DE² = 3² + 3²

DE² = 9 + 9

DE² = 18

Take Square Root of both sides

DE = √18

DE = 4.242640687119285

DE = 4.24 (Approximated)
