Answer:

Explanation:

Given: ΔABC and ΔFGH are right angles, BA||GF; BC ≅ GH.

To prove: ΔABC ≅ ΔFGH

Proof:

Step 1. ∠ABC ≅ ∠FGH (Because all right angles are congruent)

Step 2. ∠BAC ≅ ∠GFH (Because corresponding angles of parallel lines are congruent)

Step 3. BC ≅ GH (Given)

Step 4. From ΔABC and ΔFGH

∠ABC ≅ ∠FGH

BC ≅ GH

∠BAC ≅ ∠GFH

thus, by ASA rule of congruency, ΔABC ≅ ΔFGH.
