Question 1170173: I have two right triangles that are connected at point x. On the right, there is triangle one which has point v at the top, w at the corner, and x which connects to triangle two which has point z at the bottom, connected to y which connects to x.
I am given that line WV is perpendicular to line WY. I am also given that line ZY is perpendicular to line WY, as well as line WV is congruent to ZY. I am supposed to prove that the triangles are congruent and X is the midpoint of line VZ.
I do have a 4th statement that I attempted to do. That is that angle W is congruent to angle Y because of the def. of perpendicularity. I also have about half of the fifth statement which is that angle 1 and angle 2 are congruent. I don't know how to prove this with reason. I need help.
