Think step by step, use the code tool to help you out, and finally submit with the answer tool. The question is: In rectangle $ABCD$ with $AB = 16,$ $P$ is a point on $BC$ so that $\angle APD=90^{\circ}$. $TS$ is perpendicular to $BC$ with $BP=PT$, as shown. $PD$ intersects $TS$ at $Q$. Point $R$ is on $CD$ such that $RA$ passes through $Q$. In $\triangle PQA$, $PA=20$, $AQ=25$ and $QP=15$. [asy]
