Solution

PQRST is a pentagon.
Sum of all angle of any polygon is (n2)180o Where n= number of sides of Polygon
Sum of all angle of pentagon is 540o degree
Here, P=Q=S=90o [ Given ]
Let T=R=x [ Since both angles are congruent ]
P+Q+R+S+T=540o.
90o+90o+x+90o+x=540o
270o+2x=540o.
2x=270o
x=135o.
T=R=135o.
