Answer:

1, 4, 5

Explanation:

You want to identify correct proportions between the sides of similar isosceles trapezoids ABCD and WXYZ.

Corresponding sides

The similarity statement tells us the corresponding side pairs are ...

  • AB ⇔ WX
  • BC ⇔ XY
  • CD ⇔ YZ
  • DA ⇔ ZW

A proper proportion will be equate ratios of the corresponding sides in the same trapezoid, or the corresponding sides in different trapezoids.

Application

AB/WX = DA/ZW . . . . . . correct

AB/WX = ZW/DA . . . . . . incorrect

CB/XY = WX/AB . . . . . . incorrect

AB/WX = CB/YX . . . . . . correct

DA/AB = ZW/WX . . . . . . correct

BC/AD = XY/YZ . . . . . . incorrect
