Given:


\overline{HG}||\overline{JI},\overline{GI}\cong \overline{IK} and
\angle HIG\cong \angle JKI

To prove:


\angle H\cong \angle J

Solution:

In
\Delta GHI and
\Delta IJK,

Statements Reasons


\overline{HG}||\overline{JI},\overline{GK} is transversal. (Given)


\angle HGI\cong \angle JIK (Corresponding angles)


\overline{GI}\cong \overline{IK} (Given)


\angle HIG\cong \angle JKI (Given)

Two angles and their included side are congruent in both triangles. So,


\Delta GHI\cong \Delta IJK (ASA postulate)


\angle H\cong \angle J (CPCTC)

Hence proved.
