1. **Problem statement:**
We have a circle with center O and points H, J, K, L, M on its circumference. MK is a diameter and is parallel to chord HJ. Given MJ = JL and angle JMK = 38°.
2. **Part (a)(i)(a): Explain why angle HJM = 38°**
- Since MK is a diameter, angle JMK = 38° is given.
- MJ = JL means triangle MJL is isosceles with MJ = JL.
- Because MK is parallel to HJ, angles JMK and HJM are alternate interior angles.
- Alternate interior angles formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines are equal.
Therefore, $$\angle HJM = \angle JMK = 38^\circ.$$
3. **Part (a)(i)(b): Explain why angle MJK = 90°**
- MK is a diameter of the circle.
- By the Thales' theorem, any angle subtended by a diameter on the circumference is a right angle.
- Angle MJK is subtended by diameter MK at point J on the circumference.
Therefore, $$\angle MJK = 90^\circ.$$
