Can someone solve this?
![### Geometry Problem: Calculating `∠CDF`
#### Problem Statement
In the diagram provided:
- \( AE \perp AF \)
- \( CF \perp AF \)
- \( AE \cong AB \)
- \( m\angle EAB = 26^\circ \)
- \( m\angle BCD = 67^\circ \)
Find \( m\angle CDF \).
#### Steps and Given Information
| Step | Angle | Reason |
|------|---------------------------|---------|
| 1 | \(m\angle EAB = 26^\circ\) | Given |
| 2 | \(m\angle BCD = 67^\circ\) | Given |
\[ \text{try} \quad m\angle\boxed{\phantom{}} = \boxed{\phantom{}}^\circ \quad \text{Select a Reason} \]
#### Diagram Explanation
The diagram is a geometric figure with the following attributes:
- Point \(A\) along the line segment \(AE\).
- Line segment \(AF\) is perpendicular to \(AE\).
- Line segment \(CF\) is perpendicular to \(AF\).
- Line segment \(AE\) is congruent to line segment \(AB\).
- Angle \( \angle EAB \) measures \(26^\circ \).
- Angle \( \angle BCD \) measures \(67^\circ \).
Points \(A\), \(E\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), and \(F\) are outlined in a way that forms several right angles and given angle measurements, leading you to deduce various properties of the geometric figure to solve for \( m\angle CDF \).
#### Solving the Problem
The key to solving for \( m\angle CDF \) involves understanding the relationships between the angles in the triangles formed and utilizing the perpendicular and congruent line segments.
### Educational Focus
This problem focuses on concepts such as:
- Perpendicular lines
- Congruency in geometry
- Angle summation and subtraction
- Solving angles in geometric figures
By understanding these elements, students can approach more complex geometric problems with confidence.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/4e587e39-d9b0-4a7b-859b-3e64c2b2dbff/9b21598f-e8a0-4b6a-b0d6-6aaf52194948/sur3vq_thumbnail.jpeg)
