Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

JK || FH

m∠GFH + m∠FGH + m∠FHG = 180°

According to given,

 

Step 3:

From the diagram we can clearly observe that,

m∠JFG + m∠FGK = 180°

A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.A linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

The above statement, satisfies this condition.

Therefore, 

m∠JFG + m∠FGK = 180° is a definition of linear pair.
