Answer
∠1 = ∠4 (Vertically opposite angles)
⇒ 2∠2 = 2∠3
⇒ ∠2 = ∠3.
TS = TR (Given)
⇒ ∠TRS = ∠TSR (As angle opposite to equal side are equal)
⇒ ∠TRS - ∠2 = ∠TSR - ∠3
⇒ ∠ARB = ∠BSA.
∠RTB = ∠STA (Common angle)
△RBT ≅ △SAT (By ASA axiom.)
We know that corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal.
∴ RB = SA.
Hence, proved that RB = SA.
