Explanation:

Step1: List given side congruences

  1. $\overline{RU} \cong \overline{SV}$ (Given)
  2. $\overline{TV} \cong \overline{SU}$ (Given)
  3. $\overline{RS} \cong \overline{ST}$ (Definition of midpoint)

Step2: Apply SSS congruence rule

If all three pairs of corresponding sides of two triangles are congruent, the triangles are congruent by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Postulate.
So, $\triangle RSU \cong \triangle STV$ by SSS.

Answer:

$\triangle RSU \cong \triangle STV$
