here is your answer OK
PSR=x∠QSR + ∠PSR =180° Linear Pair∠QSR =180°-x∠REP=y∠QEP + ∠REP =180°∠QEP =180°-y=180°-x Since x=yIn ∆ QEP and ∆ QSR∠QEP = ∠QSR Proved above∠PQE=∠RQS CommonPQ=QR GivenBy AAS Congruence∆ QEP≅∆ QSRSo,PE=RS ( CPCT) ans

Answer:
set up your proof like this:
Statements | Reasons
PQ=QR |Given
m<x=m<y | Given
m<PQR=m<RQP | Reflexive Property
ΔPQB ≅ ΔRQA | ASA
(Technically you should put a step here saying line AR is congruent to line PB by CPCTC. This would make the reasons for the next step that congruent lines have equal measures.)
AR = PB | CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent)
