Statements
1.Line YZ is perpendicular to Line XZ and line YW bisects line XZ
2.Line XW is congruent to Line ZW
3. 4.Line YW is congruent to line YW
5. Triangle WXY is congruent to triangle WZY
6.Line XY is congruent to Line ZY

the reasons
!. Given
2.YW is the perpendicular bisector of XZ
3. Definition of perpendicular bisector (Perpendicular lines form right angles)
4.a common side to YWX and YWZ
5. by SAS
6. corresponding sides in congruent to triangles
