The proofs demonstrate that triangle QRS is congruent to triangle STU based on either the SSS Congruence theorem or the ASA Congruence theorem.

S is the midpoint of QU

QR ≅ ST

RS ≅ TU

We are to Prove that triangle QRS ≅ Triangle STU

Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence: Since S is the midpoint of QU, we know that QS = US.

, we have:

QS ≅ US

QR ≅ ST

RS ≅ TU

two triangles are congruent if all three corresponding sides are congruent if we apply the By the SSS Congruence theorem,

triangle QRS ≅ triangle STU.
