Code for Diagram (in case link doesn't work):

[asy]
pair A,B,C,D,E;
A = (0, 0.9);
B = (-0.4, 0);
C = (0.4, 0);
D = (-0.275, 0.16);
E = (0.11, 0.65);
draw(A--B);
draw(A--C);
draw(B--C);
draw(B--E);
draw(C--D);
label("$P$",A,N);
label("$Q$", B, S);
label("$R$", C, S);
label("$S$", D, S);
label("$T$", E, W);
[/asy]
