Complete the proof.
Given: XPWQ\overline{XP}\parallel\overline{WQ} 
Prove: ΔXZPΔWZQ\Delta XZP\sim\Delta WZQ 

We are given that  XPWQ; \overline{XP}\parallel\overline{WQ};\  
therefore,  ZXPZWQ\angle ZXP\cong\angle ZWQ  and

 ZPXZQW\angle ZPX\cong\angle ZQW  by the

a)

Corresponding Angles Postulate

b)

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

c)

Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem

d)

Same-Side Interior Angles Postulate

2.

 Complete the proof.
Given:  XPWQ\overline{XP}\parallel\overline{WQ} 

Prove:  ΔXZPΔWZQ\Delta XZP\sim\Delta WZQ 

We are given that  XPWQ; therefore, ZXPZWQ and \overline{XP}\parallel\overline{WQ};\ therefore,\ \angle ZXP\cong\angle ZWQ\ and\  

 ZPXZQW\angle ZPX\cong\angle ZQW 

Then we can conclude that  ΔXZPΔWZQ\Delta XZP\sim\Delta WZQ  by

a)

SSS

b)

AA

c)

SAS

d)

ASA
