REALLY NEED HELP! PLEASE

The figure shows triangle ABC with medians A F, BD, and CE. Segment A F is extended to H in such a way that segment GH is congruent to segment AG. (goes with picture)

Which conclusion can be made based on the given conditions?

a. Segment EG is congruent to segment GD.
b. Segment GF is half the length of segment EB.
c. Segment BG is congruent to segment GC.
d. Segment EG is half the length of segment BH

d is the right answer because g is midpoint of ah and e is midpoint of ab and eg is parallel to bh so eg equals half bh

Answer: The correct option is d, i.e., Segment EG is half the length of segment BH.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the triangle ABC with medians FA, BD, and CE. Segment FA is extended to H in such a way that segment GH is congruent to segment AG.

Since FA, BD, and CE are median it means the points D,E,F are the midoint of the line AC, AB, BC respectively.

It is also given that the line segment GH is congruent to segment AG. It means the point G is the mid point of the line segment AH.

In trianle ABH the line EG is joining the midpoint of AD and AH. So by using midpoint theorem of triangle we can say that the line EG and BH are parallel lines and the length of EG is half of the length of BH.

Therefre option d is correct.
