1. **State the problem:** Given that triangles $\triangle POR$ and $\triangle STU$ are similar, find the missing side lengths $ST$, $TU$ and the angle measures $m\angle S$, $m\angle T$, $m\angle U$ in $\triangle STU$.
2. **Recall properties of similar triangles:** Corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.
3. **Identify corresponding parts:** Since $\triangle POR \sim \triangle STU$, we have:
- $P \leftrightarrow S$
- $O \leftrightarrow T$
- $R \leftrightarrow U$
Therefore:
- $m\angle P = m\angle S$
- $m\angle O = m\angle T$
- $m\angle R = m\angle U$
And sides correspond as:
- $PO \leftrightarrow ST$
- $OR \leftrightarrow TU$
- $PR \leftrightarrow SU$
4. **Given values in $\triangle POR$:**
- $m\angle P = 70^\circ$
- $m\angle R = 46^\circ$
- $PO = 14$
- $OR = 28$
- $PR = 21$
5. **Find $m\angle O$ in $\triangle POR$:**
$$m\angle O = 180^\circ - m\angle P - m\angle R = 180^\circ - 70^\circ - 46^\circ = 64^\circ$$
6. **Find missing angles in $\triangle STU$ using angle correspondence:**
- $m\angle S = m\angle P = 70^\circ$
- $m\angle U = m\angle R = 46^\circ$
- $m\angle T = m\angle O = 64^\circ$
7. **Use side length correspondence and scale factor:**
Given $SU = 6$ corresponds to $PR = 21$, the scale factor $k$ from $\triangle POR$ to $\triangle STU$ is:
$$k = \frac{SU}{PR} = \frac{6}{21} = \frac{2}{7}$$
8. **Find $ST$ and $TU$ using scale factor:**
- $ST$ corresponds to $PO = 14$, so:
$$ST = k \times PO = \frac{2}{7} \times 14 = 4$$
- $TU$ corresponds to $OR = 28$, so:
$$TU = k \times OR = \frac{2}{7} \times 28 = 8$$
**Final answers:**
- $ST = 4$
- $TU = 8$
- $m\angle S = 70^\circ$
- $m\angle T = 64^\circ$
- $m\angle U = 46^\circ$
