Consider two circles $\Pi_1$ and $\Pi_1$ tangent externally at point $S$, such that the radius of $\Pi_2$ is triple the radius of $\Pi_1$. Let $\ell$ be a line that is tangent to $\Pi_1$ at point $ P$ and tangent to $\Pi_2$ at point $Q$, with $P$ and $Q$ different from $S$. Let $T$ be a point at $\Pi_2$, such that the segment $TQ$ is diameter of $\Pi_2$ and let point $R$ be the intersection of the bisector of $\angle SQT$ with $ST$. Prove that $QR = RT$.
