Consider the angles around F and C.
Example Solution:
| Statements we can assume to be true | Statements we cannot assume to be true |
|---|---|
| ∠GFH ≅∠EFC | ∠GFH ≅∠DCF |
| ∠GFH ≅∠EFH | ∠GFH≅ ∠ACB |
Explanation: See solution.
Of the 13 statements, only 2 of them are about angles so let's make some more statements about angles.
It should be easy to work with the angles around F since we know that one of them, ∠GFH, is a right angle.
To form two statements that we cannot assume to be true, we use the fact that we are not sure whether BD and EG are parallel lines.
The two statements rely on the fact that BD and EG are parallel lines.
