1. Problem Description

We are given that ray VXVX bisects angle WVYWVY and ray VYVY bisects angle XVZXVZ. We need to prove that angle WVXWVX is congruent to angle YVZYVZ, which means WVXYVZ\angle WVX \cong \angle YVZ.

2. Solution Steps

Here is the two-column proof:
| Statements | Reasons |
|---|---|

1. $\overrightarrow{VX}$ bisects $\angle WVY$ |

1. Given |

|

2. $\angle WVX \cong \angle XVY$ |

2. Definition of angle bisector |

|

3. $\overrightarrow{VY}$ bisects $\angle XVZ$ |

3. Given |

4. $\angle XVY \cong \angle YVZ$ |

4. Definition of angle bisector |

|

5. $\angle WVX \cong \angle YVZ$ |

5. Transitive Property of Congruence |

The transitive property of congruence states that if aba \cong b and bcb \cong c, then aca \cong c. In this case, WVXXVY\angle WVX \cong \angle XVY and XVYYVZ\angle XVY \cong \angle YVZ, so WVXYVZ\angle WVX \cong \angle YVZ.

3. Final Answer

WVXYVZ\angle WVX \cong \angle YVZ
