Answer:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement
{} Reason

1. ∠V ≅ ∠Y
{} Given

2.
\overline {WZ} bisects ∠VWY
{} Given

3. ∠VWZ = ∠YWZ
{} Definition of bisection of angle

4.
\overline {WZ}
\overline {ZW}
{} Reflexive property

5. ΔWVZ ≅ ΔWYZ
{} Angle-Angle-Side congruency postulate

6.
\overline {VZ}
\overline {YZ}
{} CPCTC postulate

Explanation:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement
{} Reason

1. ∠V ≅ ∠Y
{} Given

2.
\overline {WZ} bisects ∠VWY
{} Given

3. Given that ∠VWY is bisected by
\overline {WZ}, therefore ∠VWY is split into two equal angles, ∠VWZ and ∠YWZ, from which we have ∠VWZ = ∠YWZ
{} by the definition of bisection of angle ∠WXY by
\overline{WZ}

4. By reflexive property, a line is congruent to itself, therefore,
\overline {WZ}
\overline {ZW}

5. Given that two adjacent angles and a side adjacent to the two angles in ΔWVZ are congruent to the corresponding two adjacent angles and adjacent side in ΔWYZ, ΔWVZ is congruent to ΔWYZ by the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruency postulate

6. Given that ΔWVZ ≅ ΔWYZ, and side
\overline {VZ} of ΔWVZ is the corresponding side to side
\overline {YZ} of ΔWYZ, therefore,
\overline {VZ} is congruent to
\overline {YZ} by the Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangle are Congruent (CPCTC) postulate.
