To find the length of QS based on the information given, we can assume that points Q, W, T, S, and R are collinear. Since we have the lengths of segments QW, WT, and SR, we can derive QS if we know the positions relative to each other.

From the given data:

- QW = 18
- WT = 22
- It is unclear how SR relates to QW and WT, but we will establish QS with respect to the known lengths.

To derive QS, we need the total length from Q to S, which includes QW, WT, and may also include SR depending on its position.

Since we are not given clear information about where S fits with respect to the other points, let's assume point S is at T (the end of WT):

1. Length QW = 18
2. Length WT = 22
3. Hence, the total length QS can be calculated as follows:
\[
QS = QW + WT = 18 + 22 = 40
\]

If S is located somewhere else, you'll need to provide its relative position to the other points for an accurate calculation.

If we assume point S follows T linearly and we don’t need to consider SR directly, then:

**Therefore, the length QS = 40.**
