We are given the following information

Line EF intersects line AB and line CD

GH ≅ IH

m∠EGB = 50° and m∠DIG = 115°

We are asked to explain that why line AB is parallel is line CD.

As you can see, corresponding angles are equal so, m∠GHI = m∠EGB = 50°

We know that angles on a straight line equal 180°

[tex]m\angle GIH=180-115=65\degree[/tex]

Therefore, in triangle GHI, angle H equals 50, angle I equals 65 and angle G equals 65

Angles in a triangle equals 180

Therefore, lines AB and CD are parallel
