From the triangle, let's determine the line segments that corresponds to line RS.

Line TU is the mid line segment of the given triangle QRS.

A mid line segment of a triangle can be siad to connect the midpoints of two sides of a traingle.

Thus, T is the midpoint of RS, while U is the midpoint of QS.

Given that traingle UTS is similar to triangle QRS, we have the correponding sides:

• RS correpsonds to QS

,

• QR corresponds to UT

,

• US corresponds to TS

,

• RT corresponds to QU

From the list above, the side that corresponds to RS is QS

ANSWER:

C. QS
