The measure of ∠F will be equal to the measure of ∠E, since they are vertical angles.
Therefore, ∠F = ∠E = (x+17)°.
Since ∠D and ∠E are supplementary angles, their measures add up to 180°.
So, we can write the equation: (4x+8)° + (x+17)° = 180°.
Simplifying this equation, we get:
5x + 25 = 180
5x = 180 - 25
5x = 155
x = 155/5
x = 31
Substituting this value back into ∠F = (x+17)°, we get:
∠F = 31 + 17
∠F = 48°
Therefore, the measure of ∠F is 48 degrees. Answer: 48°.
