Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The given length of the side EF=6 units.

The given length of the side BC=6 units.

The given length of the side DE=4 units.

The given length of the side AB=4 units.

Th given angle E is m∠E=90°.

The given angle B is m∠B=90°.

 

In triangles DEF, and ABC.

EF=BC=6 unitsE=B=90°DE=AB=4 units

 

The above triangles are congruent with the side angle side (SAS) property.

Step 2

The expression for the angle F is,

tanF=46F=tan-123

 

The expression for the angle C is,

tanC=46C=tan-123

 

In triangles DEF and ABC.

F=C=tan-123EF=BC=6 unitsE=B=90°

 

The above triangles are angle side angle(ASA) property.
