Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify Given Information

The problem states the following:

  • \( \angle R \cong \angle Q \)
  • \( \angle S \cong \angle T \)
Step 2: Analyze the Triangles

Given the congruent angles, we can infer that triangles \( \triangle RAS \) and \( \triangle QAT \) are isosceles triangles with the following properties:

  • \( \angle R = \angle Q \)
  • \( \angle S = \angle T \)
Step 3: Evaluate Each Option

We need to determine which of the given options may not be true based on the given information.

  1. \( \angle 2 = \angle 3 \)

    • This is true because \( \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 3 \) are corresponding angles in the isosceles triangles.
  2. \( RS = TQ \)

    • This is true because \( RS \) and \( TQ \) are corresponding sides in the isosceles triangles.
  3. \( \angle 5 = \angle 6 \)

    • This is true because \( \angle 5 \) and \( \angle 6 \) are corresponding angles in the isosceles triangles.
  4. \( AR \cong AQ \)

    • This may not be true because there is no information given that \( AR \) and \( AQ \) are congruent.

Final Answer

The statement that may not be true is:

  • \( AR \cong AQ \)
