Answer:

see the explanation

Explanation:

The correct question is

Prove ∠H≅∠J

we know that

The Angle-Side-Angle postulate (ASA) states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent,

we have

∠HIG≅∠JKI ----> given problem

∠HGI≅∠JIK ----> by corresponding angles (HG and JI are parallel lines)

GI≅IK ----> given problem

so

two angles and the included side of triangle HIG are congruent to two angles and the included side of triangle JKI

therefore

triangle HIG ≅ triangle JKI ---> by ASA postulate

Remember that

If two figures are congruent, then its corresponding sides and corresponding angles are congruent

Hence

∠H≅∠J ----> by definition of congruence (corresponding angles are congruent)
