Explanation:

Givens:

  • Parallelogram
  • QR || TS
  • QT || RS
  • QS ≅ SQ

With that information, we can figure out the rest.

∠RQS≅∠TSQ and ∠QSR≅∠SQT --- these are alternate interior angles, on opposite sides of the transversal QS while between parallel lines

Finally, ΔQST≅SQR because of ASA.

===============

sorry that took so long, I severely overcomplicated things before seeing the simple solution
