In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent. Since QRST is a parallelogram, segment QR is congruent to segment ST, and segment QT is congruent to segment RS.
To find which segment must be congruent to segment SP, we first need to identify how SP is related to the sides of the parallelogram. Without the image, we don't know the exact position of SP. However, we can reason based on the properties of parallelograms.
If SP is a diagonal or connects two sides at segments that meet the parallelogram's sides, one option must reflect that relationship. In parallelograms, angles and opposite sides are also congruent.
Assuming SP is drawn parallel to the side of the parallelogram QRST, then segment that can be matched to SP is the segment that complements it across the parallelogram.
Since we have the options QP, QS, PT, and PR without specific relationship details of SP:
- Segment QP could potentially be a side,
- Segment QS would join the vertex Q to S across,
- Segment PT is not directly related to SP unless SP connects these somehow,
- Segment PR does not relate directly either.
Thus, if SP corresponds directly across from QP, segment QP would indeed be the segment that must be congruent to SP.
