**Question 4:**

In the accompanying diagram, transversal \( RS \) intersects parallel lines \( XY \) and \( WZ \) at points \( E \) and \( H \), respectively. If \( m \angle HEY = 72^\circ \), what is \( m \angle ZHS \)?

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Lines:** There are two parallel lines, \( XY \) and \( WZ \).
- **Transversal:** Line \( RS \) crosses both parallel lines.
- **Points of Intersection:** \( RS \) intersects \( XY \) at point \( E \) and \( WZ \) at point \( H \).
- **Angles:** 
  - \( \angle HEY \) is given as \( 72^\circ \).

The question asks for the measure of angle \( ZHS \).

Since \( XY \) and \( WZ \) are parallel and \( RS \) is a transversal, corresponding angles are equal. Therefore, \( m \angle HEY = m \angle ZHS = 72^\circ \).
