Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the givens

We are given that VW is parallel to TU, ∠TUW ≅ ∠UTV, and TV ≅ UW.

Step 2: Determine ∠UTV ≅ ∠TVW

Since VW || TU, by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, ∠UTV ≅ ∠TVW.

Step 3: Determine ∠TUW ≅ ∠TVW

We are given ∠TUW ≅ ∠UTV, and we found that ∠UTV ≅ ∠TVW. Therefore, by the Transitive Property of Congruence, ∠TUW ≅ ∠TVW.

Step 4: Determine VW ≅ VW

VW is congruent to itself by the Reflexive Property of Congruence.

Step 5: Determine ΔTVW ≅ ΔUWV

We have two pairs of congruent angles (∠TVW ≅ ∠TUW and ∠UTV ≅ ∠UVW) and one pair of congruent sides (TV ≅ UW), therefore, by the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate, ΔTVW ≅ ΔUWV.

Final Answer:

Fill in the blanks as follows: 4. Given 5. Alternate Interior Angles Theorem 6. Transitive Property of Congruence 7. Transitive Property of Congruence 8. Reflexive Property of Congruence
