Step1: Identify congruent angles
Since \( \overleftrightarrow{EG}\parallel\overleftrightarrow{DF}\), when parallel lines are cut by a transversal:
- \( \angle1\) and \( \angle4\) are alternate - interior angles (\( \angle1\cong\angle4\)).
- \( \angle3\) and \( \angle5\) are alternate - interior angles (\( \angle3\cong\angle5\)).
So, the statement for step 2 is \( \angle1\cong\angle4\) and \( \angle3\cong\angle5\).
Step2: Justify the final equality
We know that \( m\angle4 + m\angle2 + m\angle5=180^{\circ}\) (from step 3).
By the substitution property of equality, if \( \angle1\cong\angle4\) (so \( m\angle1 = m\angle4\)) and \( \angle3\cong\angle5\) (so \( m\angle3 = m\angle5\)), we can substitute \( m\angle4\) with \( m\angle1\) and \( m\angle5\) with \( m\angle3\) in the equation \( m\angle4 + m\angle2 + m\angle5 = 180^{\circ}\).
