------\
1. r is the midpoint of \\(\overline{qs}\\)1.\
2.2. given\

4.4. all right angles are congruent.\
5.5. the midpoint separates the segment into two congruent segments\

6.6.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Given Information

We know \( R \) is the midpoint of \( \overline{QS} \), \( \angle QPR \cong \angle STR \), and \( \angle Q \) and \( \angle S \) are right angles. So, \( \angle Q=\angle S = 90^\circ \).

Step2: State Midpoint Definition

Since \( R \) is the midpoint of \( \overline{QS} \), by the definition of a midpoint, \( \overline{QR}\cong\overline{SR} \).

Step3: Identify Angle - Angle - Side (AAS) Congruence

We have \( \angle Q=\angle S \) (right angles), \( \angle QPR=\angle STR \) (given), and \( \overline{QR}=\overline{SR} \) (from midpoint). By the AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) congruence criterion, \( \triangle PQR\cong\triangle TSR \).

Now, filling the table:

Statements:
  1. \( R \) is the midpoint of \( \overline{QS} \)
  2. \( \angle QPR\cong\angle STR \), \( \angle Q \) and \( \angle S \) are right angles (Given)
  3. \( \angle Q=\angle S = 90^\circ \) (Definition of right angle)
  4. \( \overline{QR}\cong\overline{SR} \) (Midpoint divides segment into congruent parts)
  5. \( \triangle PQR\cong\triangle TSR \) (AAS Congruence Criterion)
Reasons:
  1. Given
  2. Given
  3. Definition of right angle
  4. The midpoint separates the segment into two congruent segments
  5. AAS (Angle - Angle - Side) Congruence Criterion

Answer:

The completed proof table (statements and reasons) is filled as above with the final conclusion that \( \triangle PQR\cong\triangle TSR \) by AAS congruence.
