1. Problem Description

The problem asks to prove that line segment GH\overline{GH} is congruent to line segment WV\overline{WV} using the given flowchart. The diagram shows two triangles, GIH\triangle GIH and UWV\triangle UWV. From the diagram, we can identify the following congruent parts: GW\angle G \cong \angle W, IU\angle I \cong \angle U, and GIWU\overline{GI} \cong \overline{WU}.

2. Solution Steps

We are given GW\angle G \cong \angle W, IU\angle I \cong \angle U, and GIWU\overline{GI} \cong \overline{WU}.
Since two angles of a triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the third angles are congruent by the Third Angles Theorem. Therefore, HV\angle H \cong \angle V.
Third Angles Theorem: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent.
Since GIWU\overline{GI} \cong \overline{WU}, GW\angle G \cong \angle W and IU\angle I \cong \angle U, we have GIHUWV\triangle GIH \cong \triangle UWV by ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate.
ASA Congruence Postulate: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Since GIHUWV\triangle GIH \cong \triangle UWV, we have corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC). Therefore, GHWV\overline{GH} \cong \overline{WV}.
CPCTC: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
Here's the completed flowchart:

1. Statement: $\angle G \cong \angle W$

Reason: Given

2. Statement: $\overline{GI} \cong \overline{WU}$

Reason: Given

3. Statement: $\angle I \cong \angle U$

Reason: Given

4. Statement: $\triangle GIH \cong \triangle UWV$

Reason: ASA Congruence Postulate

5. Statement: $\overline{GH} \cong \overline{WV}$

Reason: CPCTC

3. Final Answer

GHWV\overline{GH} \cong \overline{WV}
