We are given the following information:

- \( DE \) is a tangent to the circle at point \( B \).
- \( \angle ABE = 52^\circ \).
- The figure is a cyclic quadrilateral with the vertices \( A, B, C, F \) on the circle.
  
We are asked to find \( \angle CBF \).

### Key geometric principles:
1. **Tangent-Secant Theorem** (or Tangent-Chord Theorem): The angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the alternate segment of the circle.
   
   This means that:
   \[
   \angle CBF = \angle ABE
   \]

   Since \( \angle ABE = 52^\circ \), this implies:
   \[
   \angle CBF = 52^\circ
   \]

Thus, the value of \( \angle CBF \) is \( 52^\circ \).

Would you like further details or clarification on any steps?

Here are 5 related questions to explore:
1. How does the Tangent-Chord Theorem work with other angles in the circle?
2. What is the relationship between opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral?
3. Can the sum of the angles in a cyclic quadrilateral be used to find other unknown angles?
4. How can we verify angle properties when tangents and chords are involved?
5. What other theorems apply to tangents and circles?

**Tip:** Always check for angle properties like alternate segment or cyclic quadrilateral properties when dealing with tangents to circles!

Find the value of \( \angle CBF \) in the figure where DE is a tangent to the circle at B, and \( \angle ABE = 52^\circ \).
