Answer:

∆JGF ≅ ∆GJH by the SAA Postulate

Explanation:

Given a figure showing two triangles with a common side, and two marked angles not at either end of that side, you want to know the applicable congruence postulate.

SAA

The letters S and A in the congruence postulate references refer to "Side" and "Angle". The sequence of the letters corresponds to the sequence of corresponding parts in the triangles.

In the given figure, two angles in each triangle are marked with a single arc and a double arc. The triangles share a side that has the double-arc angle at one end. Hence, the sequence of corresponding parts can be seen to be (common) Side - (double-arc) Angle - (single-arc) Angle. The SAA congruence postulate applies.
