Answer:

  • angle pairs: correct
  • EF/HI = EG/HJ = FG/IJ

Explanation:

As with the angle pairs, use the corresponding vertices to name corresponding segments.

As is done here, I find it convenient to list the vertices vertically in the order shown in the similarity statement.

  • ∠E ≅ ∠H
  • ∠F ≅ ∠I
  • ∠G ≅ ∠J

This can make it easier to identify the corresponding vertices used for naming segments.

Moving on the the extended proportion, ...

The denominator HI uses the first two vertices, with E corresponding to H and F corresponding to I. The appropriate ratio is ...

EF/HI

The denominator HJ uses the 1st and 3rd vertices, with E (still) corresponding to H and J corresponding to G. The appropriate ratio is ...

EG/HJ

Similar thinking is used to identify the last ratio:

FG/IJ

Then the extended proportion is ...

EF/HI = EG/HJ = FG/IJ
