Since kites have two distinct pairs of consecutive, congruent sides their diagonals are perpendicular and one diagonal
bisects the other.

Since perpendicular lines intersect at 90° every triangle in a kite is a right triangle. Since it is given that angle DEF is 72° and we know triangles equal 180°

72+90=162
180-162 =18

so angle EFD is 18° and because angle EFD is a bisected part of angle EFG - 18x2=36

so angle EFG is 36°

Let f(x)= [x/3] (where f(x) is the ceiling function). We learned that the floor and the ceiling functions are NOT invertible, bu

(a) We have ⌊x⌋ = 5 if 5 ≤ x < 6, and similarly ⌊x/3⌋ = 5 if

5 ≤ x/3 < 6 ==> 15 ≤ x < 18

(b) ⌊x⌋ = -2 if -2 ≤ x < -1, so ⌊x/3⌋ = -2 if

-2 ≤ x/3 < -1 ==> -6 ≤ x < -3

In general, ⌊x⌋ = n if n ≤ x < n + 1, where n is any integer.

I do not understand what is being asked in (c) and (d), so you'll have to clarify...
