Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of congruent angles

If the measures of two angles are equal, then the angles are congruent.
We have shown that \(m\angle EIF=m\angle GIH\) in step 4.

Step2: Write the congruence statement

By the definition of congruent angles (if \(m\angle A = m\angle B\), then \(\angle A\cong\angle B\)), when \(m\angle EIF=m\angle GIH\), we can say \(\angle GIH\cong\angle EIF\).

Answer:

\(\angle GIH\cong\angle EIF\) (Definition of congruent angles)
