Answer:
angleAMI is equal to angle CMJ, since they are vertically opposite angles.
And angle AIM equal to angle CJM,since both are perpendiculars.
Therefore angle IAM equal to angle MCJ( third angle)
Again AM equal to CM ,since M is midpoint.
Therefore by ASA congruence rule triangle AIM congruent to triangle CJM
