Question
1 (\triangle fph) is equilateral given
2 (overline{fg}congoverline{ei}) given
3 (angle heicongangle gfh) given
4 (overline{eh}congoverline{fh})
5 (\triangle fehcong\triangle fhg)
Step1: Properties of equilateral triangle
Since \(\triangle EFH\) is equilateral, by the property of an equilateral triangle, all its sides are equal. So, \(\overline{EH}=\overline{FH}\) (sides of an equilateral triangle are equal).
Step2: Using the SAS (Side - Angle - Side) congruence criterion
We have \(\overline{EI}=\overline{FG}\) (given), \(\angle HEI=\angle GFH\) (given), and \(\overline{EH}=\overline{FH}\) (from step 1). By the SAS congruence criterion (\(SAS\): If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent), \(\triangle EHI\cong\triangle FHG\)
