  Given: ∠Q ≅ ∠S
       ∠TRS ≅ ∠RTQ
Prove: ∆RTQ ≅ ∆TRS

     1.   ∠Q ≅ ∠S      |     Given 
     2. ∠TRS ≅ ∠RTQ    |     Given
     3.   TR ≅ TR       |     Reflexive property of congruence
     4. ∆RTQ ≅ ∆TRS     |     Angle-Angle-Side*
         

*if two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two
angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of another triangle, the two
triangles are congruent.
