For the given figure, we will prove the triangles BGH and BDH are congruent.

So, the proof will be as follows:

Statement Reason

1) m∠F = m∠FEG = m∠FGE Given

2) ΔFGE is an equilateral triangle from (1), the definition of an equilateral Δ

3) FG = GE from (2), the definition of equilateral Δ

4) FG = ED Given

5) m∠ GEH = m∠DEH Given

6) EH = EH Reflexive property

7) ΔGEH ≅ Δ DEH SAS postulate

8) GH = DH from (7) CPCTC

9) m∠GHE = m∠DHE from (7) CPCTC

10) m∠GHB = m∠DHB Definition of supplementary angles

11) HB = HB Reflexive property

12) ΔBGH ≅ ΔBDH SAS postualte

13) ΔAGB is an isosceles Δ Given

14)AG = AB Definition of isosceles Δ

15) ΔBCD is an isosceles Δ Given

16) CB = CD Definition of isosceles Δ

17) CB = AG Given

18) m∠CDB = m∠CBD Definition of isosceles Δ

19) m∠ABG = m∠AGB Definition of isosceles Δ

20) m∠CDB = m∠AGB Given

21) m∠ABG = m∠CBD Transitive property

22) Δ AGB ≅ ΔCBD AAS postualte
