Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify Given Information

The problem states the following:

  • RQ \angle R \cong \angle Q
  • ST \angle S \cong \angle T
Step 2: Analyze the Triangles

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

  • R=Q \angle R = \angle Q
  • S=T \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. 2=3 \angle 2 = \angle 3

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

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

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

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

Final Answer

The statement that may not be true is:

  • ARAQ AR \cong AQ
