Help with geometric proof

18. SR is perpendicular to RT, TU is perpendicular to US, and SR is congruent to TU. I've been trying  to prove that triangle TRS is congruent to SUT, though I haven't been able to find an appropriate proof. Could anyone help?

hi Mathegocart

You have sufficient facts for congruency.  Have a look at this page:
