Given the diagram as marked, how would you prove that the unmarked angle and side of triangle JGH are congruent to the unmarked angle and side of triangle HIJ?

First off, they share the same hypoteneuse. Then it marks the opposite sides as having the same side lengths. Since they have the same side lengths on each side they are similar triangles and therefore share the same angle measures

OpenStudy (anonymous):

side-angle-side

So it's A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

@Megan_xoxo I think the answer is not A. JH ≅ JH by the Reflexive Property of Congruence. I don't know what the Commutative Property of Congruence is.

@Luis_Rivera Do you think the third option could be the correct one?
