Final answer:

The relationship between the lengths of RS and ST cannot be determined with the information provided; the likely answer is 'cannot be determined' (/).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to determine the relationship between the lengths of segments RS and ST given that RQ equals TQ. Without additional context or a diagram, we can infer that if RQ equals TQ, then R is as far from Q as T is from Q. If S is a point on segment RT, the statement made about points R, S, and T doesn't provide enough information to conclude whether RS is greater than, less than, or equal to ST. Therefore, based on the information given, we cannot determine the relationship between RS and ST, and if this were a multiple-choice question on a test, the correct answer would likely be D, indicating that the relationship cannot be determined (/).
