The congruence statement of the two triangles gives the correspondence of the vertices.

Directrix (directrix):

D has to be paired with F. E has to be paired with G. F has to be paired with H.

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the options.

ok

Directrix (directrix):

In the first one Triangle EDF is congruent to Triangle GFH. In that case point E is paired with G (lst to lst). D is paired with F (second to second). F is paired with H (third to third).

Directrix (directrix):

That is the same pairing as was given in the problem. So, the first option is not the answer.

Directrix (directrix):

In the second option, to what point in the second triangle is the point F in the first triangle paired?

Directrix (directrix):

Take a look and then take a guess.
