Angles HGJ and KJG are congruent because of parallel lines cut by a transversal; similarly angles GHK and JKH are congruent.

And angles GFH and JFK are congruent because they are vertical angles.

Since the three angles of one triangle are congruent to the three angles of the other, the triangles are similar.
