Observe that angles hmg and jmk have a relationship given that they are opposite angles of intersecting lines.  Given that relationship, you might be able to state something about the third and last set of corresponding angles.

anonymous · Answer

So, to start, what is the relationship between hmg and jmk angles?

anonymous · Answer

Both have an angle that measures 42 degrees and the vertical angles are the same measure

anonymous · Answer

Good, so now that you have 2 triangles with 2 corresponding pairs of angles that are equal, what does that say about the third set of corresponding angles?

anonymous · Answer

ok i think i got the answer i had to think

anonymous · Answer

AAA because the 3rd set is equal.

anonymous · Answer

yep i got AAA
