Answer:

(WV)/(WX)=(VY)/(VX)

Explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle WVX

$cos(W\°)=(WX)/(WV)$

Remember that

$cos(W\°)=sin(Y\°)$ ------> equation A

Because are complementary angles

In the right triangle VXY

$sin(Y\°)=(VX)/(VY)$

substitute the values in the equation A

(WX)/(WV)=(VX)/(VY)

Rewrite the expression

(WV)/(WX)=(VY)/(VX)
