To clarify the statements and reasons provided:
Statements:
1. DF = EG
2. DF = DE + EF
3. EG = EF + FG
Reasons:
1. Given
2. Definition of segment addition postulate
3. Definition of segment addition postulate
To prove: DE = FG
To proceed with the proof, we can use the transitive property:
DE + EF = EF + FG
Next, we can subtract EF from both sides:
DE = FG
Therefore, we have shown that DE is equal to FG.
