There are five theorems for triangle congruency. If we are given two congruent corresponding sides then we will be explaining why the triangles are congruent by Side-Side-Side (SSS) or Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruency.
Sometimes, congruent parts are not given to us directly and instead have to be concluded from the diagram. For example, we know from previous topics that vertical angles are congruent by the vertical angles theorem and that any segment is congruent to itself. We can use these facts when justifying why two triangles are congruent.
Identify the additional information needed to show these triangles are congruent by Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence.
Considering the diagram as well as the following information:
E is the midpoint of \overline{DF}
Explain why \triangle{DEH}\cong \triangle{FEG}.
