You can put this solution on YOUR website! If angle DEF and angle GHI are complementary, then the sum of their measures must be 90 degrees, so (eq 1). You are also given that mGHI is eight times as large as mDEF, so you can say: (eq 2).
Substituting in eq 1,
Solve for mDEF, and then put that value back into eq 2 to get mGHI.
