Question

hich of the following best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ?

triangles WXZ and XYZ that share side XZ with right angle XZW, WZ equals 12, XZ equals 6, and YZ equals 3

Since segment XZ is perpendicular to segment WY, angles WZX and XZY are both right angles and congruent. The proportion ________ shows the corresponding sides are proportional, so the triangles are similar by the SAS Similarity Postulate.
