SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the validity of triangle angle combinations and the properties of angles in triangle DEF. It is established that a triangle's internal angles must sum to 180 degrees. The combinations of angles 55°, 65°, 70° and 53°, 64°, 73° are valid as they sum to 180 degrees, while the combination of 80°, 105°, and 5° is invalid as it sums to 190 degrees. Additionally, angle F in triangle DEF is given as 44 degrees, leading to the conclusion that angles D and E must sum to 136 degrees, but their individual values cannot be determined without further information.
