Exercise 44 Page 425

GJ and HJ are congruent segments, so J is a midpoint of GH.

C

Practice makes perfect

It is given that segments GJ and HJ are congruent. This means that they have the same measures.

From the diagram, we can see that segment GH contains GJ and JH. Hence, J is a midpoint of GH. A segment that connects a triangle vertex and a midpoint of the opposite to the vertex side is called a median of the triangle. Therefore, FJ is a median of △ FGH. The answer is C.
