Problem

a. A student writes: “Since PQ=RSPQ = RS, QR=STQR = ST and ∠Q=∠S\angle Q = \angle S, therefore △PQR≅△RST\triangle PQR \cong \triangle RST by ASA.”\newline(i) Point out the mistake in the student’s reasoning. b. (ii) State a correct set of equal parts (or an extra piece of information) that would justify the congruence of the two triangles.
