You can use the SSS property to show that triangle VWX is congruent to triangle VYX which means that the diagnol VX bisects the angle V and angle X. Similarly it can be shown that the diagnal WY bisects angle W and angle Y. We know that because this is a parralelogram that angle V = 180 - angle X. which means that V + X = 180. If V and X are both bisected, then 1/2 (V + X) = 90. This means that the interior Triangle made by the 2 diagonals VOX must be a right angle. Therefore, WY and VX are perpendicular.
