Answer:

∠DEF = 250°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This shape is a hexagon (6 sides), so the interior angles should all add to 720°. Also worth noting: the problem says the obtuse angle DEF; this means it's the angle INSIDE the shape, not outside.

2. Add all the known angles, then subtract from the total degrees:

50 + 96 + 144 + 42 = 332

720 - 332 = 338

3. Because BC is parallel to ED, we can subtract 180 - 42 for the value of ∠EDC, which is 138°.

4. Add all the known values and subtract from 720 for the value of ∠DEF:

50 + 96 + 144 + 42 + 138 = 470

720 - 470 = 250°

Answer:

None of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each and every straight line is of one kind in terms of its pattern: it can be presented in the view of $y = kx + b$ : $k$ is the slope or gradient of the line, $b$ is the y-intercept of the line. I will not let the cat out of the bag if I say that any parallel lines do not intersect one another, hence they should have the same value of coefficient $k$ .
