Step-by-step explanation:

∠YXZ and ∠VXU are vertical angles, and therefore are congruent.

∠YXZ ≅ ∠VXU, Vertical ∠'s ≅

Next, we're given that lines YZ and UV are parallel.  That means that ∠YZV and ∠UVZ are alternate interior angles, and therefore congruent.

∠YZV ≅ ∠UVZ, If lines ||, then alternate interior ∠'s ≅

If two triangles have two pairs of congruent angles, then the third pair must also be congruent, making the two triangles similar.

△XYZ ~ △XUV, AA

Since the triangles are similar, then by definition, their sides are proportional.

YZ || UV - Given

YXZ = VXU - Vertical triangles =

YZV = UVZ - If lines ||, alternate internal triangles =

XYZ ~ XUV - AA

XY/XU = YZ/UV - Definition of Similar Polygons
