All three right angles in the three triangles have to correspond. That is because corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent.

Directrix (directrix):

Therefore, Q goes to S goes to S Triangle QRP R goes to R goes to Q Triangle SRQ P goes to Q goes to P Triangle SQP Check that.

Directrix (directrix):

Triangle QRP ~ Triangle SRQ ~ Triangle SQP Do check.
