for the length of DE I said 180 because it's a line and a line equals 180. I could be wrong. As for CAB I don't know.

I agree with the earlier comment ... not enough info is provided to solve the problem.
I am assuming segment DE is a triangle mid-segment that connects the midpoint of the 2 sides. A Triangles mid-segment is parallel to the third side, and is half the length of the third side If CA is 9, then DE is 4.5 ... The diagram looks like an isosceles triangle. It it is given (or can be concluded from other info given in the problem, but not supplied here), then angle CAB is 45 degrees.
