Option 1: $\mathrm{DE}=5 \mathrm{~cm} \text{ and }\angle \mathrm{D}=40^{\circ}$
Option 2: $\mathrm{DE}=5 \mathrm{~cm}\text{ and }\angle \mathrm{E}=60^{\circ}$
Option 3: $\mathrm{DF}=5 \mathrm{~cm}\text{ and } \angle \mathrm{F}=60^{\circ}$
Option 4: $\mathrm{DF}=5 \mathrm{~cm}\text{ and }\angle \mathrm{E}=60^{\circ}$
