Q:

10. Provide the reasons for the following proof:Given: Line WX =~ Line XY, Line XZ bisects Angle WXYProve: Triangle WXZ =~ Triangle YXZThe last answer choice is symmetric property of =~;SASAm I correct?

Accepted Solution

A:
Given that Line WX is congruent to Line XY and Line XZ bisects Angle WXY.

We prove that triangle WXZ is congruent to triangle YXZ as follows:
