Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Given Information

We are given two triangles, ΔEFG and ΔHIJ, and we need to determine what additional information is required to state that ΔEFG ≅ ΔHIJ by the SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Theorem.

Step 2: Analyze the SSS Congruence Theorem

The SSS Congruence Theorem states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Step 3: Determine the Missing Information

We need to check which side congruence is missing to apply the SSS Congruence Theorem. From the given options:

  • Option #1: HI ≅ IJ
  • Option #2: FG ≅ IJ
  • Option #3: GF ≅ HJ

We need to find the option that completes the three pairs of congruent sides.

Final Answer

You would need the information in Option #3 (GF ≅ HJ) to be able to state that ΔEFG ≅ ΔHIJ by the SSS Congruence Theorem.
