Option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively. This can be obtained by knowing what similar triangles are and finding which sides are proportional.
<h3>Find the correct option:</h3>Similar triangles: If two triangles have proportional sides the are similar.
For example, if ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar then
∠ABC = ∠DEF and ∠ACB = ∠DFE
Then we can write that, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF
Here in this question,
Since A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV
XA = AW
WY = VY
XZ = VZ
To consider sides AY and XV we should take triangles ΔWAY and ΔWXV
(since A is the midpoint of WX)
(since Y is the midpoint of WV)
∠AWY = ∠XWV (reflexive property)
Therefore ΔWAY and ΔWXV are similar triangles
= 2
∠WAY = ∠WXV and ∠AYW = ∠XVW
Hence,
AY || XV option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively.

Question: Analyze the diagram below and answer the question that follows. If Z, Y and A are midpoints of ΔVWX what is true about AY and XY?
A. AY || XV
B. 1/2 AY = XV
C. AY = XV
D. AY ≅ XV
Answer: B. No
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct variation has the following form:
Where the constant of variation is "k".
By definition, in direct variation, when the variable "x" changes, tha variable "y" changes in proportion to the variable "x".
As you can observe in the table, when the value of the variable "x" increase, the values of the variable "y" decrease, therefore we can conclude that it is not a direct variation.
Then the answer is the option B.
