Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Statement                                           Reason

ΔWZX and ΔYZX are                         Given

right angled triangles

WX = YX                                              Given

XZ ≅ XZ                                               Reflexive property. The reflexive  

                                                            property of congruence states that              

                                                            any shape is congruent to itself.

∠XZW = ∠XZY                                     Definition of right angle.

∠XWZ = ∠XYZ                                     Definition of isosceles triangle.

                                                             Triangle XYW forms a right angled  

                                                             triangle since YX = WX

∠XWZ + ∠WXZ + ∠XZW = 180°           Sum of angles in triangle WZX

∠XZY + ∠XYZ + ∠YXZ = 180°            Sum of angles in triangle YZX

∠XWZ + ∠WXZ + ∠XZW =                 Substitution

∠XZY + ∠XYZ + ∠YXZ

∠XYZ + ∠WXZ + ∠XZY =                 Substitution

∠XZY + ∠XYZ + ∠YXZ

∠WXZ = ∠YXZ                                  Simplification
