Question
which explains whether △fgh is congruent to △fjh? they are congruent because (overline{gh}congoverline{gf}), (overline{jf}congoverline{jh}), and (overline{fh}congoverline{fh}). they are congruent because opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. they are not congruent because only one pair of corresponding sides is congruent. they are not congruent because only two pairs of corresponding sides are congruent.
For two triangles to be congruent by SSS (Side - Side - Side) postulate, all three pairs of corresponding sides must be congruent. In the given triangles $\triangle FGH$ and $\triangle FJH$, we need to check side - side congruence. The first option has incorrect side - equalities as there is no indication in the figure that $GH\cong GF$ and $JF\cong JH$. The second option about opposite sides of a parallelogram is not relevant here as we are not given that $FGHJ$ is a parallelogram. For congruence, we need three pairs of congruent sides. If only one or two pairs of corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are not congruent by SSS.
