Step 4 should be the given angle congruence restated:
4. ∠GHF ≅ ∠GIF — Given
With that, the chain for the transitive step is:
5. ∠AHB ≅ ∠GHF (vertical angles)
4. ∠GHF ≅ ∠GIF (given)
6. ∠GIF ≅ ∠EID (vertical angles)
So by transitivity ∠AHB ≅ ∠EID (step 7), and then AAS gives △AHB ≅ △EID (step 8).
4. ∠GHF ≅ ∠GIF — Given
With that, the chain for the transitive step is:
5. ∠AHB ≅ ∠GHF (vertical angles)
4. ∠GHF ≅ ∠GIF (given)
6. ∠GIF ≅ ∠EID (vertical angles)
So by transitivity ∠AHB ≅ ∠EID (step 7), and then AAS gives △AHB ≅ △EID (step 8).
