Give angle S is congruent to angle U; line TR bisects angle STU.
Prove angle SRT is congruent To angle URT
------
Sketch the figure if you can.
----
angle STR = angle UTR::::: because TR bisects angle STU
angle S is congruent to angle U::: because that information was given
Side TR = Side TR:::: because they are identical
----
Therefore triangle TSR is congruent to triangle TUR:::: ASA (angle-side-angle)
Therefore angle TSR is congruent to triangle TUR::: corresponding parts of congruent triangles.
