Assuming you have a diagram with triangles ABC and ADE where AB is parallel to DE and AD is parallel to BC:
We can write the proportion as:
WV/WX = AV/AE
This is because triangles AVW and AEX are similar by angle-angle similarity. The ratios of corresponding sides are equal, which gives us:
WV/WX = AV/AE = BV/CE.
From the similar triangles in the diagram, write a proportion using the ratio WV/WX
