Consider the two triangles.

Triangles W U V and X Z Y are shown. Angles V U W and Y X Z are congruent. Angles U W V and X Z Y are congruent. Angles U V W and Z Y X are congruent. The length of side V W is 60 and the length of side Z Y is 48. The length of side Y X is 40 and the length of V U is 50. The length of side U W is 40 and the length of X Z is 32.

How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem?

Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over X Y EndFraction , StartFraction W U Over Z X EndFraction , and StartFraction W V Over Z Y EndFraction are equivalent.
Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over Z Y EndFraction , StartFraction W U Over Z X EndFraction , and StartFraction W V Over X Y EndFraction are equivalent.
Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over X Y EndFraction and StartFraction W V Over Z Y EndFraction are equivalent, and ∠V ≅ ∠Y.
Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over Z Y EndFraction and StartFraction W U Over Z X EndFraction are equivalent, and ∠U ≅ ∠Z.9.8 inches

The ratios StartFraction U V Over Z Y EndFraction , StartFraction W U Over Z X EndFraction , and StartFraction W V Over X Y EndFraction are equivalent.

Similarity theorem of triangles

For two triangles to be similar, the ratio of the measure of similar sides of the triangle must be equal to a constant known as a scale factor.

From the given figures, the expression that can be used to prove that the triangles are similar is as shown;

UV/ZY = WU/ZX = WV/XY

Hence the correct option is to show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over Z Y EndFraction , StartFraction W U Over Z X EndFraction , and StartFraction W V Over X Y EndFraction are equivalent.
