**Rectangles and Triangle Congruence Proof**

### Given:
- Rectangle \( WXYZ \)

### To Prove:
- \( \triangle WXY \cong \triangle YZW \)

### Diagram Description:
A rectangle \( WXYZ \) is depicted with vertices labeled as \( W, X, Y, \) and \( Z \) in a clockwise manner. Inside the rectangle, there is a diagonal line drawn from vertex \( W \) to vertex \( Z \).

### Question:
Which of the following statements is used within this proof?

- \( \angle YWZ \cong \angle WXY \)
- \( \angle XYW \cong \angle WYZ \)
- \( \angle WXY \cong \angle YZW \)
- \( \angle ZWY \cong \angle ZYX \)

### Instructions:
Carefully evaluate the provided options and select the correct statement that is used within the proof to show that \( \triangle WXY \cong \triangle YZW \).

This setup is intended to aid in understanding the fundamental principles of congruent triangles within geometric shapes, particularly rectangles. Understanding angle relationships and the properties of rectangles is critical for solving problems of this nature. If you have encountered a proof of this kind before, think about the angles created by the diagonal and how they might be equal due to the properties of a rectangle.
