The two column proof has shown that ΔGHJ ≅ ΔIHJ by HL Congruency Postulate

How to use Two Column proof?

The two column proof to show that ΔGHJ ≅ ΔIHJ is as follows:

Statement 1: H is the midpoint of GI

Reason 1: Given

Statement 2: JG ≅ JI

Reason 2: Given

Statement 3: ∠GHJ is a right angle

Reason 3:

Statement 4: ∠G ≅ ∠I

Reason 4: Reason

Statement 5: JH ≅ JH

Reason 5: Reflexive property of congruency

Statement 6: GH ≅ HI

Reason 6: Definition of midpoint of line segment

Statement 7: ΔGHJ ≅ ΔIHJ

Reason 7: HL Congruency Postulate
