Answer:

HL congruence theorem

Explanation:

Given that WZX is an isosceles triangle with sides WX=WZ

Also given that WY is altitude on side XZ

Consider triangles WXY and WZY

WX=WZ Given

WY=WY REflexive property

Angle wyz =angle wyx Right angle

Hence by HL congruence theorem, since one leg and hypotenuse are equal we get the two triangles to be congruent.
