Question
- in the figure, ( \triangle ghfcong\triangle ehd ). which statement is true by cpctc? ( overline{dh}congoverline{hf} ) ( overline{gh}congoverline{hd} ) ( overline{fh}congoverline{he} ) ( overline{gf}congoverline{hd} )
Step1: Recall CPCTC
CPCTC stands for "Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent". If \(\triangle GHF\cong\triangle EHD\), then their corresponding sides are congruent.
Step2: Identify corresponding sides
In \(\triangle GHF\) and \(\triangle EHD\):
- \(GH\) corresponds to \(EH\)
- \(HF\) corresponds to \(HD\)
- \(GF\) corresponds to \(ED\)
Now check each option:
- Option 1: \(\overline{DH}\cong\overline{HF}\) is incorrect. Since \(HF\) corresponds to \(HD\) (not \(DH\))
- Option 2: \(\overline{GH}\cong\overline{HD}\) is incorrect. \(GH\) corresponds to \(EH\)
- Option 3: \(\overline{FH}\cong\overline{HE}\) is incorrect. \(FH\) corresponds to \(HD\)
- Option 4: \(\overline{GF}\cong\overline{ED}\) is incorrect. Wait, no, actually, if we consider the letters of the triangle names \(\triangle GHF\) and \(\triangle EHD\), the order of congruence gives:
\(\overline{GH}\cong\overline{EH}\), \(\overline{HF}\cong\overline{HD}\), \(\overline{GF}\cong\overline{ED}\). But if we re - check the options again, maybe there was a mis - label in the problem's options (assuming it's a typo in the problem's options and we go by the side - correspondence in the congruent triangles \(\triangle GHF\cong\triangle EHD\)). The correct side - correspondence for the segments with \(H\) in them: \(\overline{FH}\) (from \(\triangle GHF\)) corresponds to \(\overline{HD}\) (from \(\triangle EHD\)) is wrong. Wait, no, using the order of congruence \(\triangle GHF\cong\triangle EHD\), we have:
\(\overline{GH}\) (first - second letter of \(\triangle GHF\)) corresponds to \(\overline{EH}\) (first - second letter of \(\triangle EHD\))
\(\overline{HF}\) (second - third letter of \(\triangle GHF\)) corresponds to \(\overline{HD}\) (second - third letter of \(\triangle EHD\))
\(\overline{GF}\) (first - third letter of \(\triangle GHF\)) corresponds to \(\overline{ED}\) (first - third letter of \(\triangle EHD\)). But if we assume the problem has a typo and we consider the segments with \(H\) in a different way. Since \(\triangle GHF\cong\triangle EHD\), by CPCTC, \(\overline{FH}\cong\overline{HD}\) (no, that's not an option). Wait, no, another approach:
The two triangles \(\triangle GHF\) and \(\triangle EHD\) are congruent. So, \(\overline{GH}\) in \(\triangle GHF\) and \(\overline{EH}\) in \(\triangle EHD\) are congruent; \(\overline{HF}\) in \(\triangle GHF\) and \(\overline{HD}\) in \(\triangle EHD\) are congruent; \(\overline{GF}\) in \(\triangle GHF\) and \(\overline{ED}\) in \(\triangle EHD\) are congruent. But if we look at the options again, and assume that the problem intended \(\overline{FH}\cong\overline{HD}\) (not an option) but if we consider the order of the congruence statement \(\triangle GHF\cong\triangle EHD\), the sides:
Let \(A = G\), \(B = H\), \(C = F\) for \(\triangle ABC=\triangle GHF\) and \(D = E\), \(E = H\), \(F = D\) for \(\triangle DEF=\triangle EHD\) (using the congruence notation \(\triangle ABC\cong\triangle DEF\) implies \(AB\cong DE\), \(BC\cong EF\), \(AC\cong DF\)). So \(GH\cong EH\), \(HF\cong HD\), \(GF\cong ED\). But if we consider the segments with \(H\) in the options:
The second option \(\overline{GH}\cong\overline{HD}\) is wrong. The first option \(\overline{DH}\cong\overline{HF}\) (if \(DH = HD\)) is wrong. The third option \(\overline{FH}\cong\overline{HE}\) is wrong. But if we assume that the problem has a mis - written option and we use the fact that in congruent triangles \(\triangle GHF\cong\triangle EHD\), the side \(HF\) (from \(\triangle GHF\)) and \(HD\) (from \(\triangle EHD\)) are congruent.
