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

$\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{AC}{DF}$

∠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

$\frac{WX}{WA} =\frac{2WA}{WA} = 2$ (since A is the midpoint of WX)

$\frac{WV}{WY} =\frac{2WY}{WY} = 2$ (since Y is the midpoint of WV)

∠AWY = ∠XWV (reflexive property)

Therefore ΔWAY and ΔWXV are similar triangles

$\frac{WX}{WA}= \frac{XV}{AY} =\frac{WV}{WY}$ = 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.
