The problem description is deficient; it allows two different interpretations of the given information.

If D is the right angle, then the other two angles are 30 and 60 degrees; the triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle.

But if E is the right angle, then angle F is 45 degrees, making the triangle a 45-45-90 right triangle.

Of course the answer will be different with the two different interpretations.

Re-post, telling which angle is the right angle.
