**Question 38**

In the figure, \( \frac{YT}{YX} = \frac{YV}{YZ} \).

What reason allows you to conclude that \( \triangle YTV \sim \triangle YXZ \)?

- SSS~
- ASA~
- SAS~
- HL~

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram is a geometric figure consisting of two triangles, \( \triangle YTV \) and \( \triangle YXZ \), sharing a common vertex at \( Y \). There is a line connecting vertices \( T \) and \( X \), and a line connecting vertices \( V \) and \( Z \). The given proportional relationship between the segments indicates a possible similarity between the triangles.

**Note for Educational Context:**

This question assesses understanding of triangle similarity criteria, specifically the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) similarity theorem, which states that if two triangles have two proportional sides and the included angle is equal, the triangles are similar.
