To prove the congruence of triangle ABC to triangle GHE, we can use a sequence of transformations. Here is one possible sequence:

1) Translation: We can translate triangle ABC to move point A to point G. This will result in triangle A'B'C' being congruent to triangle GHE.

2) Rotation: Next, we can rotate triangle A'B'C' counterclockwise around point A' until side A'B' aligns with side GH. This rotation will bring point B' to point H. The resulting triangle will be A''B''C''.

3) Reflection: Finally, we can reflect triangle A''B''C'' over the line containing side A''C'' to obtain triangle GHE. This reflection will bring point C'' to point E.

After performing these three transformations (translation, rotation, and reflection), triangle ABC will be congruent to triangle GHE.
