Answer:


(WV)/(WX)=(VY)/(VX)

Explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle WVX


cos(W\°)=(WX)/(WV)

Remember that


cos(W\°)=sin(Y\°) ------> equation A

Because are complementary angles

In the right triangle VXY


sin(Y\°)=(VX)/(VY)

substitute the values in the equation A


(WX)/(WV)=(VX)/(VY)

Rewrite the expression


(WV)/(WX)=(VY)/(VX)
