Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached is a copy of the figure with some of the clutter removed. The congruent angles marked with a single arc, and the parallel lines are given.
The angles marked with a double arc are congruent because they are alternate interior angles where transversal XZ crosses parallel lines XW and YZ. Of course, side XZ is congruent to itself.
Hence we have two angles and a side not between them that are congruent. We can declare ∆XWZ ≅ ∆ZYX by the AAS postulate. (choice A)

Step-by-step explanation:
Pretend you see a right triangle here. From the lower end of the line go up 5 and you will be on the same horizontal as the upper end of the line. Go over 6 units and you close your triangle. This is a right triangle with legs 5 and 6 units long. We are looking for the hypotenuse of this triangle. Use Pythagorean's Theorem:
25 + 36 = ??² and
61 = ??² so
?? = √61
