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.
