All sides are equal, making PQRS a rhombus. Now PR is a diagonal that is equal to the sides.
Thus PQR and PRS become equilateral triangle.
The diagonals PR and QS will bisect each other at 90.
\(\triangle PQO\) will make a 30-60-90 triangle with sides PO:OQ:PQ in ratio 1:\(\sqrt{3}\):2
So \(\frac{QO}{OP}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}\)
\(\frac{2*QO}{2*OP}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}\)
\(\frac{QS}{PR}=\sqrt{3}\)

Let PQ=QR=RS=PS=PR=1 ( Given)
O is the midpoint of segment QS.
QO is height of equilateral triangle PQR.
Then QO = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\).
So QS = \(\sqrt{3}\) ( QS = 2*QO)
\(\frac{QS}{PR}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}\)
