Question 1000718: Given: GH is parallel to KL; GJ is congruent to KJ
Prove: J is the midpoint of HL
The shape is an hour glass figure. GH on the left side J in the middle and LK on the right side.

All I have so far are the 2 givens. I know the 2 triangles are congruent but I don't know how to proof it.

Angle JGK is congruent to angle JLK (alternate interior angles)
GJH is congruent to LJK (Vertical angles).
GJ=JL (given)
You have angle-side angle.
