Since lines HJ and KM are parallel, we can use the properties of angles formed when a transversal intersects parallel lines.
Assuming that you have a transversal that crosses both lines HJ and KM, we can determine the relationship between the angles formed.
Given that \( mKLN = 138° \), and depending on the configuration of points, angle \( mHIL \) can be found using the corresponding angle theorem or the alternate interior angle theorem.
If, for example, angle \( KLN \) is an exterior angle corresponding to angle \( HIL \), then:
\[
mHIL = mKLN = 138°.
\]
If \( HIL \) is an alternate interior angle to \( KLN \), then:
\[
mHIL = 180° - mKLN = 180° - 138° = 42°.
\]
Hence, to determine the exact value of \( mHIL \), we need to know whether it is an alternate interior angle, corresponding angle, or another type of angle relative to \( KLN \). If the configuration allows for it to be alternate interior or corresponding, the value will be 42°; if the configuration allows it to equal 138°, then that will be the measure.
Make sure to confirm the positions of the angles relative to the parallel lines and transversal.
