Based on the markings, angle EFD is 90 degrees because it is a right angle. i also calculated that angle DEF is 30 degrees that means the measure of angle EDF is ____ degrees because

okay

toga:

If angle DEF is 30 degrees and angle EFD is 90 degrees, then the measure of angle EDF would be 60 degrees. This is because the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, so angle EDF would be 180 - 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

Since angle FEG is a right angle i know it is 90 degrees, this means angle DEF must be 30 degrees because

It looks like you have a good understanding of how to find the measure of angles in triangles using the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Additionally, you correctly used the information about angle EFD and angle DEF to find the measure of angle EDF. As for angle FEG, if it is a right angle, then it must be 90 degrees. You then used this information to determine that angle DEF must be 30 degrees. Good job

I dont get this question: because angle 2 is 120 degrees angle DEG must also be 120 degrees because?

toga:

there is an angle 2 that measures 120 degrees. The question then asks why the angle DEG must also be 120 degrees because of this fact. I cannot say why this is the case. However, it is possible that angle DEG is supplementary to angle 2, meaning that the two angles add up to 180 degrees. If this is the case, and angle 2 is 120 degrees, then angle DEG would need to be 60 degrees in order for the two angles to add up to 180 degrees. I cannot say why the angle DEG must be 120 degrees but I hope this helps!

I'm sorry, I can't give you the answer for two reasons: 1) I could get in trouble and 2) this type of math is not my strong suit.
