Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
- m∠F = 116°
We have to find the value of m∠E.
Here, two sides are equal, thus it is an isosceles triangle. As the two sides are equal, so their angles must be equal. So, ∠E and ∠D will be equal. Let us assume the measures of both ∠E and ∠D as x.
→ Sum of all the interior angles of ∆ = 180°
→ ∠E + ∠D + ∠F = 180°
→ 116° + x + x = 180°
→ 2x = 180° – 116°
→ 2x = 64°
→ x = 64° ÷ 2
→<u> x = 32°</u>
Henceforth,
→ m∠E = x
→ m∠E = 32°

Solving inequalities is similar to solving a regular equation. The only thing you need to worry about with inequalities is that when you are dividing or multiplying by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. You won't have to worry about that here if the coefficient in front of x is positive when you divide!
Also remember:
- To add/subtract fractions, you have to turn all mixed numbers into improper fractions (if needed), <span>find a common denominator on both fractions (if needed), add/subtract the numerators, put the sum/difference over the common denominator, and simplify if needed.
- To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. Put the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
- To divide fractions, remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of that fraction (aka fraction flipped).
- To turn mixed numbers into improper fractions, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction. Add the numerator of the fraction to the product you get, and put that final sum over the original denominator.

1) </span>Using the info for converting mixed numbers to improper fractions from above, you know that
and 
and 
. Now add/subtract using the info above, isolating the variable x by adding 
to both sides and subtracting 
from both sides.
2) Divide both sides by
to get the inequality for x. Remember the info for dividing from above:
Your final answer is x <
or x <
