Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Fill Statement 1
Given is (\overline{DF} \parallel \overline{HG}), so statement 1 is (\overline{DF} \parallel \overline{HG}).
Step2: Reason for Statement 2
Statement 2 says (F) is the midpoint of (\overline{EG}), and the reason is "Given" (since it's part of the given information).
Step3: Fill Statement 3
Given is (\overline{DF} \cong \overline{HG}), so statement 3 is (\overline{DF} \cong \overline{HG}).
Step4: Find Statement 4
Since (\overline{DF} \parallel \overline{HG}), the corresponding angles (like (\angle DFE) and (\angle HGF) or (\angle EDF) and (\angle EHG), depending on the transversal) are congruent. So statement 4 is (\angle DFE \cong \angle HGF) (or appropriate corresponding angles).
Step5: Reason for Statement 5
(\overline{EF} \cong \overline{FG}) because (F) is the midpoint of (\overline{EG}), and the definition of a midpoint states that it divides the segment into two congruent parts. So the reason is "Definition of Midpoint".
Step6: Reason for Statement 6
To prove (\triangle DEF \cong \triangle HFG), we have (\overline{DF} \cong \overline{HG}) (statement 3), (\angle DFE \cong \angle HGF) (statement 4), and (\overline{EF} \cong \overline{FG}) (statement 5). This satisfies the SAS (Side - Angle - Side) congruence criterion. So the reason is "SAS Congruence Criterion".
