Question

If S, T, equals, 16ST=16, T, R, equals, 9TR=9, and W, U, equals, 18WU=18, find the length of start overline, V, W, end overline
VW
. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.

Answer 1

I don't have enough information to solve this as written — the problem refers to a figure (points S, T, R, V, W, U) but that figure or the relationships (which points are collinear, which lines are parallel, which segments are parts of triangles, etc.) aren't given.

Could you either
- paste the full problem text including any words about parallel lines, triangles, midpoints, or similar triangles, or
- upload or describe the diagram (which points are connected to which, which lines are parallel, which points lie on which segments, etc.)?

If you can't upload the image, a short description like "S, T, R are collinear with T between S and R; V is intersection of line through W parallel to SR with ...", or the exact sentence that accompanied the figure, will let me solve it.

If you want, you can also say whether ST = 16, TR = 9, WU = 18 are the only given lengths and whether VW is asked — tell me how the points are connected and I'll compute VW.
