Question

JH is perpendicular to JE and HI is perpendicular to IE. Additionally, JH is congruent to HI.

Write an explanation (using proof type language) as to why JE is congruent to IE

Answer 1

Since JH is perpendicular to JE and HI is perpendicular to IE, and JH is congruent to HI, the angles formed by JH and HI are equal. This means that the corresponding angles formed by JE and IE are also equal. Since corresponding angles are equal, JE is congruent to IE.
