We have proved that side GH is congruent to side EH i.e; GH ≅ EH.

To prove that GH ≅ EH , we can use the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) criterion.

Given:

AG ≅ EB (Corresponding sides of congruent triangles)

∠A≅∠B (Corresponding angles of congruent triangles)

CD≅ CF (Corresponding sides of congruent triangles)

Now, we want to prove GH ≅ EH .

Here's the proof:

△AGH≅△EBH (By ASA):

∠AGH≅∠EBH (Common side GH and EH )

AG ≅ EB (Given)

∠A≅∠B (Given)

By CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent):

This implies GH ≅ EH .

Therefore, GH ≅ EH is proved.
