1. Determine the vector/direction and length of PQ

From Q to P, the segment moves in a specific direction on the isometric grid. Let the vector QP⃗\vec{QP} represent this movement.

2. Determine the position of S using the properties of the trapezium

Since PQPQ is parallel to RSRS, the direction from R to S must be the opposite of Q to P (or same as P to Q depending on orientation, but to form a convex trapezium PQRS, RS⃗\vec{RS} is parallel to QP⃗\vec{QP}). Given RS=2PQRS = 2PQ, the movement from R to S is exactly twice the movement from Q to P.
RS⃗=2QP⃗\vec{RS} = 2\vec{QP}.
Starting from R, move twice the grid distance of QP in the same direction to locate dot S.

3. Complete the trapezium

Draw the line segment RS. Then draw the line segment SP to close the trapezium PQRS. Label the new vertex as S.

Answer

Dot S is drawn such that RS is parallel to PQ and twice its length. S is connected to P to complete the trapezium.
