Hi, there--
.
STEP I: Use the Angel Sum Theorem to find the measure of angle D.
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.
.
[measure of angle D] + measure of angle E] + [measure of angle F] = 180 degrees
[measure of angle D] + 46 + 64 = 180
[measure of angle D] = 180 - 46 - 64 = 70
.
The measure of angle D is 70 degrees.
.
STEP II: Use the Law of Sines to find the length of d.
.
The Law of Sines says the the following rations are equivalent.

.
We will use the first equivalence. Substitute the values you know and solve for d.
.

.
Use a calculator to find values for the sine for each angle.

.
Solve for d.

.
Hope this helps! Please email if there is any part of this that does not make sense yet.
