Question 1 of 8

No calculator

The following measurements describe two triangular shade panels

\(\triangle EFG\) and \(\triangle HGF\)

Lengths are in m

Triangles EFG and HGF. Shared segments are dashed; use the stated measurements and geometric facts for the proof.EFGH

The lines EF and GH are parallel

The triangles use transversal FG

The two unshared vertices lie on opposite sides of the shared segment

The data give \(EF = HG = 9\,\mathrm{m}\)

Side \(FG\) is shared and has length \(9\,\mathrm{m}\)

The angle \(\angle EFG\) has measure \(120^\circ\)

1 mark

Which reason justifies the equality \(EF = HG\)?
