It helps to draw this
EF is d, the side opposite to the angle D
Law of Sines
7.5/sin 35=6.3/sin F
13.08=6.3/sin F
sin F=6.3/13.08=0.4817
take the arc sin of that
28.79 degrees
Check partially by noting that angle E should be 116.21 degrees and e should be the longest side
13.08=e/sin E
e=11.74 or 11.7 to nearest tenth,
This isn't proof, but it is suggestive.
