1. Problem Description

We are given that HITU\overline{HI} \cong \overline{TU} and HJTV\overline{HJ} \cong \overline{TV}. We need to prove that IJUV\overline{IJ} \cong \overline{UV}.

2. Solution Steps

We know that the length of HJ\overline{HJ} is the sum of the lengths of HI\overline{HI} and IJ\overline{IJ}. Also, the length of TV\overline{TV} is the sum of the lengths of TU\overline{TU} and UV\overline{UV}. We can write these relationships as equations:
HJ=HI+IJHJ = HI + IJ
TV=TU+UVTV = TU + UV
We are given that HI=TUHI = TU and HJ=TVHJ = TV. Therefore, we can substitute these values into the second equation:
HJ=HI+UVHJ = HI + UV
Since HJ=HI+IJHJ = HI + IJ, we can substitute HI+IJHI + IJ for HJHJ:
HI+IJ=HI+UVHI + IJ = HI + UV
Now, we can subtract HIHI from both sides of the equation:
HI+IJHI=HI+UVHIHI + IJ - HI = HI + UV - HI
IJ=UVIJ = UV
Since IJ=UVIJ = UV, we can say that IJUV\overline{IJ} \cong \overline{UV}.

3. Final Answer

IJUV\overline{IJ} \cong \overline{UV}
