We will have the following:

From the 2nd point on:

*RU congruent with VS.

*2. Definition of congruent segments.

*VS = RS + SU

*3. Segment addition postulate.

*RU = RS + SU, VS = VU + SU

*4. Substitution property of equality,

*RS = VU.

*5. Transitive property of equality,

*RU = VS

*6. Deffinition of congruent segments.

*Triangles PUR and QSV are congruent.

*7. ASA congruence therorem.

*

*8. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

*m*11. Substitution property of equality.

*m*12. Transitive property of equality.

**13. Definition of congruent angles.

*Triangles PUX & QSY are congruent.

*ASA congruence theorem.
