Because of the SSS postulate for proving triangles congruent, you can say that triangles DEG and FEG are congruent. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC) means that angles DEG and FEG are congruent, which means their measures are equal. So 3y + 4 = 5y - 10.

4 = 2y - 10

14 = 2y

7 = y

The measure of angle DEF is 50 degrees
