The given statements:
1) ΔQRS ≅ ΔSTU (according to the ASA axiom)
2) The congruent ∠S: ∠RSQ ≅ ∠UST (Vertical angles)
What does the ASA axiom state?
The ASA axiom states that "two triangles are said to be congruent if two pairs of corresponding angles and the sides between these angles are equal".
Finding the given tasks:
It is given that,
S is the midpoint of QT.
So, SQ ≅ ST <S>
Since ∠S is at the intersection of two transversal lines, ∠RSQ ≅ ∠UST <A>. This is beacuse they are vertically opposite.
And QT is the transverse line for the parallel lines, QR║UT. So, the alternate angles(interior) are congruent. I.e., ∠SQR ≅ ∠UTS <A>.
From this, the given triangles have two equal corresponding angles and congruent sides in between them.
So, ΔQRS ≅ ΔSTU according to ASA axiom.
Therefore, ΔQRS ≅ ΔSTU and ∠RSQ ≅ ∠UST.
