To guarantee that quadrilateral SDGF is a square, you would need to confirm both the lengths of the sides and the angles between adjacent sides. The following two statements would be sufficient:

  1. SF ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ≅ FG ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯: This ensures that the length of side SF is equal to the length of side FG, which is a necessary condition for being a square.

  2. SF ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ⊥ FG ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯: This ensures that the sides SF and FG are perpendicular to each other, confirming a right angle that is also necessary for the shape to be a square.

Thus, the two statements that would guarantee SDGF is a square are:

  1. \( SF \cong FG \)
  2. \( SF \perp FG \)
