The problem involves proving that \( \overline{ED} \parallel \overline{FH} \) using the given information:

### Given:
1. \( \overline{EF} \parallel \overline{JG} \) 
2. \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 4 \)

### To Prove:
\( \overline{ED} \parallel \overline{FH} \)

### Proof Explanation:
1. **Corresponding Angles Theorem**: 
   - Since \( \overline{EF} \parallel \overline{JG} \), and \( \overline{FJ} \) is a transversal, we can conclude that \( \angle 2 \cong \angle 3 \) by the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

2. **Given Information**: 
   - \( \angle 1 \cong \angle 4 \) is given in the problem.

3. **Angle Relationships and Parallel Lines**:
   - \( \overline{ED} \) and \( \overline{FH} \) will be parallel if we can show that the corresponding angles formed by transversal \( \overline{EF} \) and \( \overline{JG} \) with these lines are congruent.
