Step1: Identify Given Information
The given statement is $\angle RSU \cong \angle VST$, so we note this as "Given".
Step2: Apply Angle Addition Postulate
For $\angle RSV$, by Angle Addition Postulate, $m\angle RSU + m\angle USV = m\angle RSV$. Similarly, for $\angle RST$, $m\angle VST + m\angle USV = m\angle RST$.
Step3: Substitute Congruent Angles
Since $\angle RSU \cong \angle VST$, by Definition of Congruence, $m\angle RSU = m\angle VST$.
Step4: Use Substitution Property
Substitute $m\angle RSU$ with $m\angle VST$ in the angle addition equations. So $m\angle VST + m\angle USV = m\angle RSV$ (from first equation substitution) and $m\angle VST + m\angle USV = m\angle RST$ (from second equation). By Transitive Property, $m\angle RSV = m\angle RST$.
Step5: Conclude Congruence
By Definition of Congruence, if $m\angle RSV = m\angle RST$, then $\angle RSV \cong \angle RST$.
Filling the table:
| Statement | Justification |
|---|---|
| $m\angle RSU + m\angle USV = m\angle RSV$ | Angle Addition Postulate |
| $m\angle VST + m\angle USV = m\angle RST$ | Angle Addition Postulate |
| $m\angle RSU = m\angle VST$ | Definition of Congruence |
| $m\angle VST + m\angle USV = m\angle RSV$ (substituted) | Substitution Property |
| $m\angle RSV = m\angle RST$ | Transitive Property |
| $\angle RSV \cong \angle RST$ | Definition of Congruence |
