The figure below shows a circle with two chords PR and QS intersecting at point T.

Amanda took the measurements of the line segments and wrote them down as shown.

Segment PT is 2.8 cm, segment TR is 2.5 cm, segment QT is 1.6 cm, and segment TS is 3.5 cm.

Describe the method you use to prove that Amanda took incorrect measurements. Use geometric theorems to write a two-column proof.
