For the first one, you did good. I will just suggest a couple things.
Statement Reason
JK ≅ LM Given
<JKM ≅ < LMK Given (You did both of these steps so well done.)
MK ≅ MK Reflexive Property (Your angle pair is congruent but isn't one of the interior angle of the triangles you are trying to prove.)
ΔJMK ≅ ΔLKM SAS
Problem 2: (You also have a lot of great stuff here.)
Statement Reason
DE ║ FG Given
DE ≅ FG Given
<DEF≅<FGH Given
<EDF≅<GFH Corresponding Angles (You don't need to know that F is the midpoint but you got corresponding angle pair which is correct.)
ΔEDF≅ΔGFH ASA
<DFE≅<FHG CPCTC
We can find the midpoint of any line segment using the midpoint formula: M=(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2). Essentially, the midpoint formula finds the average of two points. If we use B and the first point and C as the second, when we plug in our values we would have M=(5-4/2,9-5/2). This can be simplified to M=(1/2,4/2) or M=(1/2,2) which is the final answer.

Recall that in a right-triangle, the hypotenuse, or longest side, is √(a²+b²).

Answer: A compass.
Step-by-step explanation: an instrument for drawing circles and arcs and measuring distances between points, consisting of two arms linked by a movable joint, one arm ending in a point and the other usually carrying a pencil or pen.
