First, draw triangle PQR.
STATEMENT 1: QR > QP
REASON 1: Given
STATEMENT 2: angle P > angle R.
REASON 2: If one side of a triangle is greater than another side., then it's opposite angle is grater.
STATEMENT 3: PR congruent PQ
REASON 3: Given
STATEMENT 4: angle R congruent angle Q
REASON 4: definition of isosceles triangles
STATEMENT 5: angle P > angle Q
REASON 5: substitution [2,4]
