Is my answer correct

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes is correct but do you can proving it why ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

ummm idk

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so there you know from the text of this exercise that AF is median what mean this ? --- that BF = FC so from this result H_1 congruent H_2 so triangle BHF is congruent with triangle CHF with HF common side so from this result BH congruent HC

OpenStudy (zarkon):

what is H1 and H2?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

H_1 angle H from triangle BHF and H_2 is angle H from triangle FHC because there FH is bisector of angle H

OpenStudy (zarkon):

those don't have to be the same

OpenStudy (zarkon):

it is not a bisector (in general)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why ? fromthe text of this exercise we know that AF is median

OpenStudy (zarkon):

that tells you that BF=CF

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes but than BF = CF so this mean that H_1 is congruent H_2 yes ?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

|dw:1387140235637:dw| No

OpenStudy (zarkon):

slant it even more and you will see that they are clearly different

OpenStudy (zarkon):

this might make it easier to see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/974/triangle.png

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes @Zarkon i understand you so there we know that GH is congruent AG so this mean that GD is parallel HC

OpenStudy (zarkon):

that is the correct answer

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than this mean that the second option will be right

OpenStudy (zarkon):

right..the 2nd option should never be the answer ;)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

thank you for your attention

OpenStudy (zarkon):

np

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
