Explanation:

Step1: Identify known congruences

We know $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (Statement 1), $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (Statement 7), and $\overline{VW} \cong \overline{VW}$ (Statement 8).

Step2: Determine triangle congruence

For $\triangle UVW$ and $\triangle TWV$, we have:

• $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (side)
• $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (angle)
• $\overline{VW} \cong \overline{VW}$ (side) Wait, no, wait. Wait, actually, from the AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) or let's re - check. Wait, we have $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (side), $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (angle), and we need to see the angles and sides. Wait, actually, the correct correspondence: In $\triangle UVW$ and $\triangle TWV$, we have:
• $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (angle)
• $\angle UVW$? Wait, no, let's use the given. We have $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (side), $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (angle), and $\overline{VW}$ is common. Wait, actually, the AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) or maybe AAS. Wait, the correct statement for step 9 should be $\triangle UVW \cong \triangle TWV$ by AAS? Wait, no, let's list the parts:
• Side: $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (from statement 1)
• Angle: $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (from statement 7)
• Angle: Let's see, from the parallel lines, but actually, the AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) congruence criterion states that if two angles and a non - included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and non - included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Here, we have $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (non - included side), $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (angle), and we can get another angle. Wait, actually, the correct statement for step 9 is $\triangle UVW \cong \triangle TWV$ and the reason is AAS. But to write the statement, we need to show the congruence of the triangles. So the statement for step 9 is $\triangle UVW \cong \triangle TWV$ and the reason is AAS. But let's check the sides and angles again. We have:
• $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (side)
• $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (angle)
• $\overline{VW} \cong \overline{VW}$ (side) No, that's SAS, but the reason is AAS. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the given reason is AAS, so we need to have two angles and a non - included side. Let's re - examine the proof steps:
• We have $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$ (side)
• $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$ (angle)
• And we can get another angle from the parallel lines or the given angles. Wait, actually, the correct statement for step 9 is $\triangle UVW \cong \triangle TWV$ and the reason is AAS. So the statement is $\triangle UVW \cong \triangle TWV$

Answer:

$\triangle UVW \cong \triangle TWV$ (by AAS, with the corresponding parts: $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{UW}$, $\angle UWV \cong \angle TVW$, and $\overline{VW}$ as the side or the other angle - side combination that fits AAS)
