Answer:

TUW ~ UTV, TWV ~ UVW

Explanation:

An isosceles trapezoid is symmetrical about the perpendicular bisector of its bases. A triangle formed by deleting a vertex on one side of that line of symmetry will be similar to the corresponding triangle formed by deleting the symmetrically opposite vertex on the other side. The two pairs listed above are the possibilities.
