ST = TS is reflexive property

 
Note: ST and TS refer to the same segment

Triangle RST = Triangle UTS by the SSS property of congruence

 you can probably just get away with saying SSS for that line.

I hope this helps.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

\(RS\cong UT\) and \(RT\cong US\)

We have to prove that \(\triangle RST\cong \triangle UTS\)

We have to find the missing reason in given proof.

Proof:

Statement 1:\(RS\cong UT\)

Reason: given

Statement 2:\(RT\cong US\)

Reason: given

Statement 3:\(ST\cong TS\)

Reason:Reflexive property

Statement 4:\(\triangle RST\cong \triangle UTS\)

Reason:SSS postulate

SSS congruence property: when three sides of one triangle are congruent to corresponding sides of other triangle.Then, two triangles are congruent by SSS Postulate.
