Given that \( HI = IJ \) and the measure of angle \( \angle KIJ = 35^\circ \), it appears we are considering a triangle or geometric figure where these segments and angles play a role.
Considering that \( HI = IJ \), \( \triangle HIJ \) is an isosceles triangle with \( HI \) and \( IJ \) as the two equal sides. In any isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.
Thus, if \( m\angle KIJ = 35^\circ \) is one angle at vertex \( I \) of the triangle and corresponds to side \( KJ \), the other angles \( \angle HIK \) and \( \angle HJI \) must be calculated.
In triangle \( HIJ \):
1. Let \( m\angle HIK = m\angle HJI = x \).
2. Using the triangle sum property, we know:
\[
m\angle KIJ + m\angle HIK + m\angle HJI = 180^\circ.
\]
Substituting the known angle:
\[
35^\circ + x + x = 180^\circ.
\]
3. This simplifies to:
\[
35^\circ + 2x = 180^\circ.
\]
4. Solving for \( x \):
\[
2x = 180^\circ - 35^\circ = 145^\circ,
\]
\[
x = \frac{145^\circ}{2} = 72.5^\circ.
\]
Therefore, \( m\angle HIK = m\angle HJI = 72.5^\circ \).
Now, if we are to find \( m\angle KGH \), we would need additional information about point \( G \) and its relationship to points \( K \), \( H \), \( I \), and \( J \). Without further information about how \( KGH \) relates to triangle \( HIJ \) or the configuration itself, we cannot find \( m\angle KGH \).
As for the measure of \( HI \), it is not defined through the provided angles or relationships, as we do not have the lengths or a scale shown in the problem. Thus, without more context or numbers related to the lengths of sides \( HI \) or \( IJ \), we cannot determine it.
In conclusion:
- The measure of \( HI \) cannot be determined with the given information.
- \( m\angle KGH \) cannot be determined without knowing the relationship and positions of points \( G \), \( K \), and \( H \).
