Answer:

The triangles are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles have 3 pairs of congruent angles. In this diagram, we can see that the triangles WXP and WYZ share angle W, which is congruent to itself; therefore, they have at least 1 pair of congruent angles. We are given that angle X is congruent to angle Y, so that is a second pair of congruent angles. Finally, we know that angle P is congruent to angle Z because if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the third pair must also be congruent because the measures of the interior angles of both triangles have to add to 180°.
