The problem is to complete a proof that triangle $POR$ is congruent to triangle $TSR$. We are given that $OE$ is congruent to $TS$, $PE$ is congruent to $PR$, and angle $PRO$ is congruent to angle $TRS$. The task is to find the reason why $\triangle POR \cong \triangle TSR$.

1. Problem Description

The problem is to complete a proof that triangle PORPOR is congruent to triangle TSRTSR. We are given that OEOE is congruent to TSTS, PEPE is congruent to PRPR, and angle PROPRO is congruent to angle TRSTRS. The task is to find the reason why PORTSR\triangle POR \cong \triangle TSR.

2. Solution Steps

We are given:

1. $OE \cong TS$ (Given)

2. $PE \cong PR$ (Given)

3. $\angle PRO \cong \angle TRS$ (Given)

From the given information, we have two sides and an included angle.
Therefore, we can use the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate to prove the triangles are congruent.
SAS Congruence Postulate: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
In our case, we have PRTSPR \cong TS, PROTRS\angle PRO \cong \angle TRS, and OETSOE \cong TS. The first two correspond to the sides and angle. However, it appears that OEOE should be OROR. However, we don't know what OEOE or OROR is. Because of typo of given information ORTROR \cong TR, it must be OROR congruent to TRTR instead of OEOE congruent to TSTS. Therefore, PORTSR\triangle POR \cong \triangle TSR by SAS.

3. Final Answer

SAS Congruence Postulate
