given: $overline{fh} perp overline{gh}$; $overline{kj} perp overline{gj}$
prove: $\triangle fhg sim \triangle kjg$
identify the steps that complete the proof.
| statements | reasons |
|---|---|
| 2. $overline{kj} perp overline{gj}$ | 2. given |
| 3. $angle fhg$ and $angle gjk$ are right angles | 3. def. of perpendicular lines |
| 4. $angle fhg cong angle gjk$ | 4. $\boldsymbol{downarrow}$ |
| 5. $angle fgh$ and $angle kgj$ are vertical angles | 5. def. of vertical angles |
| 6. $\boldsymbol{downarrow}$ | 6. vertical angles theorem |
| 7. $\triangle fhg sim \triangle kjg$ | 7. $\boldsymbol{downarrow}$ |
