<reasoning>

Equate the base angles using the Isosceles Triangle Theorem

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &DF = FE \implies \triangle DFE \text{ is isosceles with vertex } F\\ &m\angle D = m\angle E = (4x + 1)^\circ \end{aligned}$$

\]

Solve for x using the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &m\angle D + m\angle E + m\angle F = 180^\circ\\ &(4x + 1) + (4x + 1) + (5x - 4) = 180\\ &13x - 2 = 180\\ &13x = 182\\ &x = 14 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Calculate the required angle measurements

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &m\angle F = 5(14) - 4 = 66^\circ\\ &m\angle D = 4(14) + 1 = 57^\circ \end{aligned}$$

\]

Question 7

a. \(m\angle F = 66^\circ\)

b. \(m\angle D = 57^\circ\)

Question 8

To construct the centroid of a triangle:

1. Draw any triangle \(ABC\).
2. Construct the perpendicular bisectors of at least two sides to find their midpoints.
3. Draw the medians by connecting each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
4. The intersection point of these medians is the centroid.
