To determine the missing reason for step 6 in the proof, let's analyze the information given:
- We know that \( \triangle FEG \) and \( \triangle KHG \) are connected at point \( G \).
- From the statements:
- \( \angle EGF \cong \angle HGK \) by vertical angles.
- \( KH \parallel EF \), which gives alternate interior angles \( \angle F \cong \angle K \).
- \( G \) is the midpoint of \( KF \), meaning that \( FG \cong KG \) (by the definition of a midpoint).
Now, we can summarize the information:
- We have:
- Two angles \( \angle EGF \cong \angle HGK \) (vertical angles).
- One pair of angles \( \angle F \cong \angle K \) (alternate interior angles).
- One pair of sides \( FG \cong KG \) (from the definition of midpoint).
Thus, we can use the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate, because we have:
- \( \angle F \cong \angle K \) (one pair of angles),
- \( FG \cong KG \) (the side between those angles),
- \( \angle EGF \cong \angle HGK \) (another pair of angles).
Therefore, the reason to support the congruence of the triangles \( \triangle FEG \) and \( \triangle KHG \) is:
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle).
So the missing reason is ASA.
