Answer:

See proof below

Explanation:

We will use the SAS condition for congruency of two triangles

SAS (Side-Angle-Side)

If any two sides and the angle included between the sides of one triangle are equivalent to the corresponding two sides and the angle between the sides of the second triangle, then the two triangles are said to be congruent by SAS rule.

In the two triangles ΔHIK and ΔJIK we have
m∠4 = m∠3 (given)

HK ≅ KJ

IK is the common side

So the two sides HK and IK are equal and the included angles ∠4 and ∠3 are also equal

So by SAS, the two triangles are equal

So m∠2 = m∠1

which means IK bisects ∠HIK
