Answer:

WX = WZ

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangles

Required

Additional information to prove the congruence of the triangles

Congruence by SAS means 1 angle and 2 sides of each triangles are equal.

The mark on angle W means that <XWY = <ZWY--- This represent the A in SAS

Both triangles share line WY.

So, WY = WY

Lastly, to complete the proof, lines WX must equal line WZ
