From the figure,

JHGF is a parallelogram.

From the properties of parallelogram,

∠ F = ∠ H (opposite angles are equal)

FG = JH (opposite sides are equal)

Also, note that FG || JH and JG is a transversal.

Therefore,

∠ FGJ = ∠ GJH (Alternate interior angles are equal)

Now, in Δ FGJ and Δ GJH,

FG = JH

∠ F = ∠ H and

∠ FGJ = ∠ GJH

Hence, the triangles are congruent by AAS Congruence Theorem.

The triangles \triangle \text{FJG} and \triangle \text{JHG} are congruent by \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf {AAS congruence theorem}\\\end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

From the given figure it is observed that there are two triangles \triangle \text{FJG} and \triangle \text{JHG} inside the quadrilateral.

Two triangles are said to be congruent if both the triangles have same angles and sides or it can be said that two triangles are congruent if they completely overlap with each other.

The theorems to check the congruency for the two triangles are as follows:

1) SSS congruence theorem:

As per the SSS congruence theorem if all the three sides of the first triangle are equal to all the three sides of the second triangle then the two triangles are called congruent triangles.

2) SAS congruence theorem:

As per the SAS congruence theorem if the two sides of first triangle are equal to the two sides of the second triangle and the including angles are equal then the two triangles are called congruent triangles.

3) AAS congruence rule:

As per the AAS congruence theorem if the two angles of first triangle are equal to the two angles of the second triangle and the similarly located sides are equal then the two triangles are called congruent triangles.

4) HL congruence rule:

As per the HL congruence theorem if the hypotenuse and the one other side of a triangle is equal to the hypotenuse and the corresponding other side of the second triangle then the two triangles are called congruent triangles.

From the given figure it is observed that \angle \text{GJH} is equal to the \angle \text{JGF}, \angle \text{GHJ} is equal to the \angle \text{GFJ} and the side JG is the common side for \triangle \text{FJG} and \triangle \text{JHG}.

From figure 1 (attached in the end) it is observed that the \angle \text{GJH} and the \angle \text{JGF} lies on same side, \angle \text{GHJ} and the \angle \text{GFJ} lies on the same side and the side JG is common for the \triangle \text{FJG} and \triangle \text{JHG}.  

For triangles \triangle \text{FJG} and \triangle \text{JHG}.  

\fbox{\begin\\\ \begin{aligned}\angle\text{GJH}&=\angle\text{JGF}\\ \angle\text{GHJ}&=\angle\text{GFJ}\\ \text{JG}&=\text{JG}\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}

So, as per the concept of AAS congruence theorem the two triangles \triangle\text{FJG} and \triangle\text{JHG} are the congruent triangles.

Therefore, the theorem according to which the triangles \triangle\text{FJG} and \triangle\text{JHG} are congruent is \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf {AAS congruence theorem}\\\end{minispace}}.

suppose the farmer buys another 1/2 square mile of land and divides all his land into square fields 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile w
gtnhenbr [62]
To answer this question, you need to find the area of the divided land that the farmer want. Since it was a square with 1/4 mile length then the area would be:
1/4 mile * 1/4 mile= 1/16 miles square.

Then you can divide the total area of land the farmer buys, with the area of divided land. The calculation would be: (1/2 square miles) / (1/16 square miles)= 16/2=8 pieces of field

What number goes both into 48 and 46
trapecia [35]
2 is the only number (other than 1, but in most cases 1 does not count) that goes into both 48 and 46.

48 / 2 = 24
46 / 2 = 23

Because of the fact that 48 and 46 are only two numbers apart, it would be impossible for any number greater than two to divide evenly into both.

Rationalize the denominator of 1/√3​
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

√3/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate.

Hope this helps!! Please consider marking brainliest! Have a good one!!

Step 1: Multiply numerator and denominator by a radical that will get rid of the radical in the denominator.

If the radical in the denominator is a square root, then you multiply by a square root that will give you a perfect square under the radical when multiplied by the denominator.   If the radical in the denominator is a cube root, then you multiply by a cube root that will give you a perfect cube under the radical when multiplied by the denominator and so forth...

Note that the phrase "perfect square" means that you can take the square root of it.  Just as "perfect cube" means we can take the cube root of the number, and so forth.  

Keep in mind that as long as you multiply the numerator and denominator by the exact same thing, the fractions will be equivalent.

Step 2: Make sure all radicals are simplified.

Some radicals will already be in a simplified form, but make sure you simplify the ones that are not.  If you need a review on this, go to Tutorial 39: Simplifying Radical Expressions.

Step 3: Simplify the fraction if needed.

Be careful.  You cannot cancel out a factor that is on the outside of a radical with one that is on the inside of the radical.  In order to cancel out common factors, they have to be both inside the same radical or be both outside the radical.
