To determine the true statements about the dilation of quadrilateral ABCD to create quadrilateral PQRS, let’s consider how dilation affects side lengths and angle measures.

1. **Each side length of quadrilateral ABCD is 1/2 the corresponding side length of quadrilateral PQRS.**
- This statement is **true** if PQRS is a dilation of ABCD where the scale factor is 2 (i.e., if each side of ABCD is half the length of the corresponding side of PQRS).

2. **Quadrilateral PQRS is congruent to quadrilateral ABCD.**
- This statement is **false** if a dilation is applied because dilations change the size of a shape but maintain its shape. Thus, congruence does not hold.

3. **Each side length of quadrilateral ABCD is twice the corresponding side length of quadrilateral PQRS.**
- This statement is **true** if we are following the previous logic of a scale factor of 1/2, leading to the conclusion that each side of ABCD is 1/2 the corresponding side of PQRS.

4. **Each angle measure of quadrilateral ABCD is 1/2 the corresponding angle measure of quadrilateral PQRS.**
- This statement is **false**; dilations do not change angle measures. Therefore, angle measures in ABCD will be equal to the corresponding angle measures in PQRS.

5. **Quadrilateral PQRS is similar to quadrilateral ABCD.**
- This statement is **true**; dilations maintain shape, and thus the two quadrilaterals are similar.

6. **Each angle measure of quadrilateral ABCD is twice the corresponding angle measure of quadrilateral PQRS.**
- This statement is **false**; again, angle measures remain unchanged under dilation.

Based on this analysis, the statements that are true are:

- Each side length of quadrilateral ABCD is 1/2 the corresponding side length of quadrilateral PQRS.
- Each side length of quadrilateral ABCD is twice the corresponding side length of quadrilateral PQRS.
- Quadrilateral PQRS is similar to quadrilateral ABCD.
