Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

We need to find the expression which is equivalent to the given expression.

Using power to power property of exponent, we get

Using quotient property of exponents, we get

Therefore the expression is equivalent to the given expression.

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
