Which would prove that ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ? Select two options.

A
StartFraction B A Over Y X = StartFraction B C Over Y Z EndFraction = StartFraction A C Over X Z EndFraction
Option A
B
StartFraction B A Over Y X = StartFraction B C Over Y Z EndFraction , angle C is-congruent-to angle Z
Option B
C
StartFraction A C Over X Z EndFraction = StartFraction B A Over Y X EndFraction , Angle A is-congruent-to Angle X
Option C
D
StartFraction B A Over Y X EndFraction = StartFraction A C Over Y Z EndFraction = StartFraction B C Over X Z EndFraction
Option D
E
StartFraction B C Over X Y EndFraction = StartFraction B A Over Z X EndFraction , Angle C is-congruent-to angle X.
Option E
