Answer:

∠1 = 40°

∠2 = 23°

∠3 = 35°

∠4 = 82°

Explanation:

The points where segments intersect the sides of triangle GHJ can be named as follows: P on GH, Q on HJ, R on JG.

Segments PQ and JG are parallel, which makes it possible to identify these relations:

∠2 ≅ 23° . . . . . alternate interior angles at transversal GQ

∠4 +23° = 105° ⇒ ∠4 = 82° . . . . alt interior angles at transversal RQ

The fact that acute angles in a right triangle are complementary can be used to find angle 3.

∠3 = 90° -55° = 35°

All of the angles at Q total a linear angle, so we have ...

∠1 +∠4 +23° +∠3 = 180°

∠1 = 180° -82° -23° -35° = 40°
