Answer:

PR corresponds to TR.

Explanation:

Its the second choice:

PR corresponds to TR.

This is because they are opposite equal angles ( < Q and <S).

Answer:

PR corresponds to TR

Explanation:

<Q and <S are pair of alternate angles [since PQ is parallel to ST]

<Q = <S [since they are alternate angles]

So, PR corresponds to TR [since they are opposite sides of alternate angles and ΔPQR is similar to ΔTSR]
