Statements are (underlined) and reasons are (bolded).

It is given that (<W) and (<Y) are both right angles, therefore, they must be congruent since they have the same angle measures.

<W = <Y definition of right angles

Moreover, it is given that (VX) and (ZX) are congruent.

VX = ZX given

Finally, it is given that (x) is the midpoint of (WY). Therefore, (WX) is congruent to (XY), and therefore, they are congruent.

WX = XY definition of midpoint

Thus, triangle (YWX) is congruent to (ZYX) by the following rule, side-angle-side, also known as (SAS).

YWX = ZYX SAS

When two sides and an angle are congruent between two or more triangles, then those triangles must be congruent.
