Wait, maybe the diagram is different. Wait, maybe FH is a straight line (diameter), so \( \angle FDH = 180^\circ \). Then \( \angle EDH = 180^\circ - 55^\circ = 125^\circ \)? No, that's not matching.

Wait, maybe the answer is \( \widehat{FG} \)? No, wait, let's check the options again. Wait, the options are \( \widehat{FH} \), \( \widehat{GH} \), \( \widehat{FG} \), \( \widehat{GE} \). Wait, maybe the arc \( \widehat{FG} \) has central angle \( 70^\circ \), and \( \widehat{EH} \) has central angle \( 55 + 70 = 125 \), no. Wait, I think I made a mistake. Wait, the angle at D: \( \angle EDF = 55^\circ \), \( \angle FDG = 70^\circ \), \( \angle GDH = 110^\circ \), so the remaining angle \( \angle HDE = 360 - 55 - 70 - 110 = 125^\circ \). Now, let's check the other arcs: \( \widehat{FG} \) has central angle \( 70^\circ \), \( \widehat{GE} \) has central angle \( 55 + 70 = 125^\circ \)? Wait, no, \( \widehat{GE} \) is from G to E, so the central angle is \( \angle GDE \), which is \( 55 + 70 = 125^\circ \)? Wait, no, \( \angle GDE \) would be \( 360 - 110 - 55 = 195 \)? No, I'm confused. Wait, maybe the arc \( \widehat{EH} \) has central angle \( 125^\circ \), and \( \widehat{GE} \) has central angle \( 125^\circ \)? No, maybe the answer is \( \widehat{FG} \)? Wait, no, let's think again. Wait, congruent arcs have equal measure. The measure of an arc is equal to its central angle. So we need to find the arc with the same central angle as \( \widehat{EH} \). Let's find the central angle for \( \widehat{EH} \). Looking at the diagram, the angle between E and H at center D: let's see, the line FH is a straight line (diameter), so \( \angle FDH = 180^\circ \). Then \( \angle EDH = 180^\circ - 55^\circ = 125^\circ \)? Wait, \( \angle EDF = 55^\circ \), so \( \angle EDH = 180 - 55 = 125^\circ \). Now, let's find the central angle for each option:
- \( \widehat{FH} \): central angle is \( 180^\circ \) (since FH is a diameter), so measure \( 180^\circ \). Not equal to \( 125^\circ \).
- \( \widehat{GH} \): central angle is \( \angle GDH = 110^\circ \). Not equal.
- \( \widehat{FG} \): central angle is \( \angle FDG = 70^\circ \). Not equal.
- \( \widehat{GE} \): central angle is \( \angle GDE \). Wait, \( \angle GDE = 360^\circ - 110^\circ - 55^\circ = 195^\circ \)? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe I misread the angles. Wait, the angle \( \angle FDG = 70^\circ \), \( \angle GDH = 110^\circ \), \( \angle EDF = 55^\circ \), so the angle \( \angle EDG = 55^\circ + 70^\circ = 125^\circ \), and \( \angle HDE = 360^\circ - 125^\circ - 110^\circ = 125^\circ \)? Oh! So \( \angle HDE = 125^\circ \) (central angle for \( \widehat{EH} \)) and \( \angle GDE = 125^\circ \)? Wait, no, \( \angle EDG \) is \( 55 + 70 = 125 \), and \( \angle HDE \) is also \( 125 \)? Wait, maybe the arc \( \widehat{GE} \) has central angle \( 125^\circ \), same as \( \widehat{EH} \)? No, wait, \( \widehat{GE} \) is from G to E, so its central angle is \( \angle GDE = 125^\circ \), and \( \widehat{EH} \) is from E to H, central angle \( \angle EDH = 125^\circ \)? Wait, but that would mean they are congruent. But the options include \( \widehat{FG} \)? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the angle \( \angle FDG = 70^\circ \), so arc \( \widehat{FG} \) has measure \( 70^\circ \). The angle \( \angle EDF = 55^\circ \), arc \( \widehat{EF} \) has \( 55^\circ \). The angle \( \angle GDH = 110^\circ \), arc \( \widehat{GH} \) has \( 110^\circ \). Then the remaining arc \( \widehat{EH} \): total circle is \( 360^\circ \), so \( 360 - 55 - 70 - 110 = 125^\circ \). Now, which other arc has \( 125^\circ \)? Let's see, arc \( \widehat{GE} \): from G to E, the central angle is \( \angle GDE = 55 + 70 = 125^\circ \), so arc \( \widehat{GE} \) has measure \( 125^\circ \), same as \( \widehat{EH} \). Wait, but the options are \( \widehat{FH} \), \( \widehat{GH} \), \( \widehat{FG} \), \( \widehat{GE} \). So \( \widehat{GE} \) has the same measure as \( \widehat{EH} \), so they are congruent. Wait, but maybe I messed up. Wait, no, let's check again. The central angle for \( \widehat{EH} \) is \( 125^\circ \), and the central angle for \( \widehat{GE} \) is also \( 125^\circ \), so they are congruent. But wait, the options: \( \widehat{FG} \) is \( 70^\circ \), \( \widehat{GH} \) is \( 110^\circ \), \( \widehat{FH} \) is \( 55 + 70 + 110 = 235^\circ \), no. Wait, no, \( \widehat{FH} \) is a straight line? No, FH is a chord, not necessarily a diameter. Wait, maybe FH is a diameter, so \( \angle FDH = 180^\circ \), so arc \( \widehat{FH} \) is \( 180^\circ \). Then arc \( \widehat{EH} \) is \( 180 - 55 = 125^\circ \) (since \( \angle EDF = 55^\circ \), so \( \angle EDH = 180 - 55 = 125^\circ \)). Then arc \( \widehat{GE} \): from G to E, the central angle is \( \angle GDE = 180 - 55 = 125^\circ \)? No, that doesn't make sense. Wait, I think I made a mistake in the angle calculation. Let's start over.
- The sum of angles around point D (center) is \( 360^\circ \).
- Given angles: \( \angle EDF = 55^\circ \), \( \angle FDG = 70^\circ \), \( \angle GDH = 110^\circ \).
- Let \( \angle HDE = x \). Then \( 55 + 70 + 110 + x = 360 \).
- Solve for x: \( 235 + x = 360 \) ⇒ \( x = 125^\circ \). So the central angle for arc \( \widehat{EH} \) is \( 125^\circ \).
- Now, check the central angles for each option:
- \( \widehat{FH} \): The central angle would be \( \angle FDH \). If FH is a straight line, \( \angle FDH = 180^\circ \), so arc measure \( 180^\circ \). Not equal to \( 125^\circ \).
- \( \widehat{GH} \): Central angle \( \angle GDH = 110^\circ \). Not equal.
- \( \widehat{FG} \): Central angle \( \angle FDG = 70^\circ \). Not equal.
- \( \widehat{GE} \): Central angle \( \angle GDE \). \( \angle GDE = \angle GDH + \angle HDE \)? No, \( \angle GDE = 360 - \angle EDF - \angle FDG = 360 - 55 - 70 = 235^\circ \)? No, that's not right. Wait, no, \( \angle GDE \) is the angle between GD and ED. So \( \angle GDE = \angle FDG + \angle EDF = 70 + 55 = 125^\circ \). Ah! There we go. So \( \angle GDE = 125^\circ \), which is the central angle for arc \( \widehat{GE} \). Wait, no, arc \( \widehat{GE} \) is from G to E, so the central angle is \( \angle GDE = 125^\circ \), same as arc \( \widehat{EH} \)'s central angle \( \angle EDH = 125^\circ \). Therefore, arcs \( \widehat{EH} \) and \( \widehat{GE} \) are congruent? But wait, the options include \( \widehat{FG} \)? No, wait, maybe I mixed up the arcs. Wait, arc \( \widehat{FG} \) has central angle \( 70^\circ \), arc \( \widehat{GE} \) has \( 125^\circ \), same as \( \widehat{EH} \). So the answer should be \( \widehat{GE} \)? But wait, the options are \( \widehat{FH} \), \( \widehat{GH} \), \( \widehat{FG} \), \( \widehat{GE} \). Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the arc labels. Wait, the diagram: E, F, G, H are points on the circle. So \( \widehat{EH} \) is from E to H, \( \widehat{GE} \) is from G to E. If their central angles
