The proof of Δ VWX = Δ WVZ is completed using two column proof

How to complete the proof

The proof is completed as follows

Statement Reason

VW ≅ WV Reflexive Property of Congruence

WY ≅ VY, XY ≅ YZ Definition of congruent segments

WY + YZ = WZ Segment Addition Postulate

VY + XY = WZ Substitution Property of Equality

VX = WZ Transitive Property of Equality

Δ VWX = Δ WVZ Definition of congruent segments
