Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

We're asked to prove that ΔSTV ≅ ΔTUW.

Let's begin by reviewing what was given to us.

  • Line Segment SV ≅ & ║ (Congruent and Parallel With) Line Segment TW.
  • ∠SVT ≅∠TWU.
  • SV ≅ TW.

Because we already have one side and an angle congruent, we need to prove that another angle or side is congruent.

Our goal is to find a Congruency Postulate to prove that ΔSTV ≅ ΔTUW.

As we can see in the diagram, ∠STV ≅ ∠UTV as they're vertical angles. This is possible because Line Segment SV ≅ & ║ Line Segment TW.

We are now able to prove that ΔSTV ≅ ΔTUW with the Angle-Side-Angle Triangle Congruency Postulate (ASA). We proved, and were given 2 angles, and 1 side.

Summary:

∠STV ≅ ∠UTV | Vertical Angles.

ΔSTV ≅ ΔTUW | ASA.
