Answer:

The correct answer is option 2

UVW ≈ UWT ≈ WVT

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the smallest triangle, start from the angle of 90º, U, and construct the triangle UVW

Next, we go to the following triangle in size, we start again in the right angle U, and construct UWT, wich is similar to UVW

Now, for the bigger triangle, we start with the right angle W, and create the triangle WVT, which is similar to UVW and UWT

Thus, UVW ≈ UWT ≈ WVT is the answer
