1. **Problem statement:** Given that \(\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{EG}\), \(\overline{BH} \perp \overline{FC}\), and \(m\angle ABH = 149^\circ\), find \(m\angle EFH\). 2. **Identify known angles and relationships:** - Since \(\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{EG}\), angles formed by a transversal with these lines have special relationships (alternate interior, corresponding angles). - \(\overline{BH} \perp \overline{FC}\) means \(\angle BHC = 90^\circ\). - \(m\angle ABH = 149^\circ\) is given. 3. **Find \(m\angle CBH\):** - At point B, angles \(\angle ABH\) and \(\angle CBH\) are adjacent and form a straight line (since points A, B, C are collinear). - Therefore, \(m\angle CBH = 180^\circ - 149^\circ = 31^\circ\). 4. **Use right triangle \(BHC\):** - Since \(\overline{BH} \perp \overline{FC}\), \(\angle BHC = 90^\circ\). - Triangle \(BHC\) has angles \(\angle CBH = 31^\circ\), \(\angle BHC = 90^\circ\), so \(\angle BCH = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 31^\circ = 59^\circ\). 5. **Relate angles at point F:** - Since \(\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{EG}\), and \(\overline{FC}\) is a transversal, \(\angle BCH = 59^\circ\) corresponds to \(\angle EFH\) (alternate interior angles). 6. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, \(m\angle EFH = 59^\circ\). **Final answer:** $$m\angle EFH = 59^\circ$$
