### Geometry Proof Exercise

**Given:**  
\(\angle 1 \cong \angle 4\)  
\(R\) is the midpoint of \(PT\)  

**Prove:**  
\(\angle Q \cong \angle S\)  

#### Diagram Explanation:

The accompanying diagram displays a line segment \(PT\) with point \(R\) as its midpoint. From \(P\), line \(PQ\) extends upwards to point \(Q\), forming angle \(1\) with the line \(PX\) which is parallel to \(PT\). Similarly, from \(T\), line \(TS\) extends upwards to point \(S\), forming angle \(3\) with the line \(TY\). Additionally, angles \(2\) and \(4\) are formed with lines \(PR\) and \(TR\), respectively.  

#### Two-Column Proof
