# How should I solve this geometrical problem [closed]

One of my students found this problem and gave it to me in order to help him but I cannot really think of something that will help for the solution. So, this is the problem:

ABC is a random triangle. We build 3 triangles ABD, BCE and ACF with the given angles. Find the angles of triangle DEF.

I just did a quick geogebra mockup to confirm my suspicion. There is a two parameter family of possible angles for $\triangle DEF$. Below are two examples. You can think of the two parameters as either the two parameters of the angles of $\triangle ABC$ or as the coordinates of $C$.
You should be able to write down the angle relations for each triangle and angle sums at points to get a system of linear equations. Once solved, you should get an explicit 2-parameter family of solutions dependent on any pair of the angles from $\triangle ABC$.
