Step 1 :Since the triangles $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ are congruent, their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
Step 2 :Therefore, the length of $\overline{CAD}$ is equal to the length of $\overline{CA}$, which is 3.5 cm.
Step 3 :Similarly, the measures of $\angle A$, $\angle B$, and $\angle C$ are equal to the measures of $\angle D$, $\angle E$, and $\angle F$ respectively, which are $73^\circ$, $65^\circ$, and $42^\circ$.
Step 4 :So, the length of $\overline{CAD}$ is \(\boxed{3.5}\) cm and the measures of $\angle A$, $\angle B$, and $\angle C$ are \(\boxed{73^\circ}\), \(\boxed{65^\circ}\), and \(\boxed{42^\circ}\) respectively.
