Reason 4: Given.

Step 5: Prove Congruence (HL)

Statement 5: \( \triangle ONP \cong \triangle PQO \).

Step 6: Prove Congruence (ASA)

Statement 6: \( \triangle SRT \cong \triangle UTR \).
Reason 6: ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate (two angles and included side congruent).

Problem 6: Prove \( \triangle VWX \cong \triangle ZYX \)
Step 1: Identify Right Angles

Statement 1: \( \angle W \) and \( \angle Y \) are right angles.
Reason 1: Given.
