Question 51742This question is from textbook Geometry
: Write a two-column proof
Given: G is between F and H
Given: H is between G and J
Prove: FG + GJ == FH + HJ
I have the given and FG + GH = FH and GH + HJ = GJ because of addition of line segment.
Where do I go from there

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
assume FG + GJ = FH + HJ true
FG + GJ = FH + HJ
FG + GH = FH(cuz G is between F&H)
GH + HJ = GJ (" H is between G&J)

GH+HJ+FG= FG+GH+HJ (FG + GH = FH ;GH + HJ = GJ ;proved)
Q.E.D
So its true
