Angles formed by the segment in the triangles ΔWXZ, and ΔXYZ, are equal and the given corresponding sides are proportional.
- The option that best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>
Reasons:
The proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is presented as follows;
Segment is perpendicular to segment
∠WZX and ∠XZY are right angles by definition of perpendicular to
∠WZX in ΔWXZ = ∠XZY in ΔXYZ = 90° (definition)
Therefore;
, which gives,
Given that two sides of ΔWXZ are proportional to two sides of ΔXYZ, and
that the included angles between the two sides, ∠WZX and ∠XZY are
congruent, the two triangles, ΔWXZ and ΔXYZ are similar by Side-Angle-
Side, SAS, similarity postulate.
The option that best completes the proof is therefore;

Let as consider the complete ques is : Ray QS bisects ∠PQR. Solve for x and find m∠PQR. m∠PQS = 3x ; m∠SQR = 5x-20.
Given:
Ray QS bisects ∠PQR.
m∠PQS = 3x
m∠SQR = 5x-20
To find:
The value of x and m∠PQR
Solution:
Ray QS bisects ∠PQR. So,
The value of x is 10.
Now,
Put x=10,
Therefore, the m∠PQR is 60 degrees.
