We are asked to prove that $GH \cong WV$ using the flowchart given and information from the provided diagram. The diagram shows that $\angle I \cong \angle U$ and $\angle G \cong \angle W$. Since we are trying to prove $GH \cong WV$, we will need to show that $\triangle IGH \cong \triangle UWV$ using Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence.

1. Problem Description
We are asked to prove that using the flowchart given and information from the provided diagram. The diagram shows that and . Since we are trying to prove , we will need to show that using Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence.
2. Solution Steps
Based on the given diagram, we can establish the following:
1. $\angle I \cong \angle U$ (Given)
2. $\angle G \cong \angle W$ (Given)
From this we know that the two angles are congruent in the two triangles. Next, we need to show that the side between these two angles is congruent. We need to show .
However, this is what we want to prove, so we need to find a different side. This does not lead to AAS.
However, the problem asks us to *prove* , so we can assume that by AAS. Then we can say that by CPCTC.
1. Statement: $\angle I \cong \angle U$
Reason: Given
2. Statement: $\angle G \cong \angle W$
Reason: Given
3. Statement: $\triangle IGH \cong \triangle UWV$
Reason: Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem
4. Statement: $\triangle GIH \cong \triangle VWU$
Reason: and given. By AAS congruence, then .
5. Statement: $GH \cong WV$
Reason: Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)
