1. RP congruent to QS                      1.given
   RS congruent to QP

2. QR congruent to QR                      2. reflexive property

3. tri RPQ congruent to tri QSR            3. SSS theorem

SSS theorem states that if three sides of one triangle are congrent to 3 sides of another triange then the triangles are congruent to one another
