For Statement 6:
Step1: Identify known congruences
We know from Statement 1 that $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{SU}$ and from Statement 5 that $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{SW}$.
Step2: Apply Transitive Property
The Transitive Property of Congruence states that if $a \cong b$ and $b \cong c$, then $a \cong c$. Here, let $a = \overline{SW}$, $b = \overline{TV}$, and $c = \overline{SU}$. Since $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{SU}$ (Statement 1) and $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{SW}$ (Statement 5), by the Transitive Property of Congruence, we can conclude that $\overline{SW} \cong \overline{SU}$.
For Statement 7:
Step1: Identify triangle type
Since $\overline{SW} \cong \overline{SU}$ (from Statement 6), triangle $SUW$ is isosceles with $\overline{SW} = \overline{SU}$.
Step2: Apply Isosceles Triangle Theorem
The Isosceles Triangle Theorem states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. In $\triangle SUW$, the sides $\overline{SW}$ and $\overline{SU}$ are congruent, so the angles opposite them, $\angle SUW$ and $\angle W$, are congruent. So the reason is "Isosceles Triangle Theorem" (or "Base Angles of an Isosceles Triangle are Congruent").
Final Answers for the Blanks:
- Statement 6 Reason: Transitive Property of Congruence
- Statement 7 Reason: Isosceles Triangle Theorem (or Base Angles of an Isosceles Triangle are Congruent)
(If we assume we need to fill one at a time, for Statement 6: Transitive Property of Congruence; for Statement 7: Isosceles Triangle Theorem)
