Studdy Solution
Use the given congruences and the congruence from the midpoint to apply a triangle congruence theorem:
We have the following congruences:
1. QRRS\overline{Q R} \cong \overline{R S} (from Step 1)
2. QTRU\overline{Q T} \cong \overline{R U} (given)
3. SURT\overline{S U} \cong \overline{R T} (given)

Using the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Theorem, which states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent, we can conclude:
QRTRSU \triangle Q R T \cong \triangle R S U
The proof is complete with the statement:
QRTRSU \boxed{\triangle Q R T \cong \triangle R S U}
