We have to prove that triangles EFI and HFG are congruent.

We are given that:

- IE and GH are parallel

- EF and HF are congruent sides.

Then:

1) Statement: IE || GH

Reason: given

2) Statement: EF ≅ HF

Reason: given

3) Statement: Reason: vertical angles

4) Statement: GF ≅ IF

Reason: F is the midpoint of segment GI

5) Statement: ∆EFI ≅ ∆HFG

Reason: SAS postulate
