SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Draw a line from point Y to point W as mentioned.

STEP 2: Explain the identical triangles created.

It can be seen from the image above that, there are tow triangles created which are labelled A and B. These triangles have a right-angle and has the length of their sides to be equal. They both have same hypotenuse and has equal opoosite sides. A diagonal divides a rectangle into two congruent triangles, that too right triangles with their hypotenuse being the same. Each diagonal acts as the hypotenuse for the right triangles so formed.

Hence, the triangles created are called Congruent triangles.
