Coordinate Graph Easy

Explain why it is convenient to place a right triangle on the grid as shown when writing a coordinate proof.

• The hypotenuse of the right triangle is easy to identify.

• The side lengths are often easier to find because you are using zeros in your expressions.

• It is easier to dilate the figure on the coordinate plane.

• Both legs have the same length when you place the triangle on the x- and y-axes.

Write a plan for the proof. 

Given: G is the midpoint of HF
Prove: △GHJ≅△GFO

• Find the coordinates of G using the Midpoint Formula
  Use these coordinates and the Distance formula to show that OG ≅ JG.
  Show that HG≅ FG by the definition of midpoint and ∠HGJ ≅ ∠FGO by the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem.
  

• Find the coordinates of G using the Distance Formula
  Use these coordinates and the Midpoint formula to show that OG ≅ JG.
  Show that HG≅ FG by the definition of midpoint and ∠HGJ ≅ ∠FGO by the Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem.

• Then, use the SAS Congruence Theorem to conclude that △GHJ ≅ △GFO.

• Then, use the SSS Congruence Theorem to conclude that △GHJ ≅ △GFO.
