Solution
∠PQT = ∠RQU .....(i)
∠TQS = ∠UQS .....(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii)
∠PQS = ∠RQS
In ΔPQS and ΔRQS
∠PQS = ∠RQS
PQ = RQ ...(given)
QS = QS ...(common)
Therefore, ΔPQS ≅ ΔRQS ...(SAS criteria)
Hence, ∠QPS = ∠QRS
Now in ΔPQT and ΔRQU
∠QPS = ∠QRS
PQ = RQ ...(given)
∠PQT = ∠RQU ...(given)
Therefore, ΔPQT ≅ ΔRQU ...ASA criteria)
Hence, QT =QU.
