RT-ST=QS-ST, because subtracting the same quantity from two lines that have been stated to be equal.
Therefore RS=TQ
Angle R=Angle Q, because it is an isosceles triangle
Triangle AR
S is congruent to ATQ.
AT=AS
Because TAS is isosceles, angles 5 and 6 are equal.
Therefore, angles 4 and 7 are equal, because they are supplementary angles of the same angle.
And angles 1 and 3 are equal, because the other two angles in the triangle are equal.


The triangles RAT and QAS are congruent with SAS.
