                           ABCD is a square.
                           So, AB = BC
                           MN = AB and PQ = BC
                           So, MN = PQ

                           It is given that PQ = MQ and NQ
                           So, MNQ is equilateral triangle.

                           Angle MQN = 60o
                           Angle PQN = 30o

                           PQN is isosceles triangle.
