1 answer

Since DE is a perpendicular bisector of FG, we can determine the following facts:

  1. DE bisects FG: This means that FH ≅ GH. Therefore, \( FH \equiv GH \).

  2. Right Angles: Since DE is perpendicular to FG at point H, we know that \( \angle DHF \) and \( \angle DHG \) are right angles, meaning \( \angle DHF ≅ \angle DHG \).

Thus, the two statements that must be true are:

  1. \( \angle DHF ≅ \angle DHG \)
  2. \( FH ≅ GH \)

Or, using the options provided:

  • \( FG \equiv DE \) (This statement does not hold as FG and DE are not being compared like this in the context).
  • \( FH ≅ GH \) (This statement is true given the properties of a perpendicular bisector).

So, the correct answers are:

  • ∠DHF ≅ ∠DHG
  • FH ≅ GH

These correctly represent the properties of perpendicular bisectors and their geometry.
