try this: 

draw a circle with radius PR and center P.  Label point of intersection of the circle with PQ then call them A & B

draw perpendicular bisector of AB through P 

label the intersection of the line b with the circle part of a and call it T 

draw the ⟂ to PT through T 

draw the ⟂ to PQ through Q

call the intersection of the last  2 lines S
