I don’t have enough information to determine VW uniquely from just the numbers ST = 16, TR = 9, and WU = 18 — I need how the points/segments are related (a diagram or a statement that certain triangles are similar, points are collinear, midpoints, parallel lines, etc.).
If what you meant is that triangle STR is similar to triangle VWU with corresponding sides ST ↔ WU and TR ↔ VW, then the scale factor is WU/ST = 18/16 = 9/8, so
VW = TR · (WU/ST) = 9 · (18/16) = 9 · 9/8 = 81/8 = 10.125.
If that isn’t the intended configuration, please upload the diagram or describe how the points are arranged and which segments correspond, and I’ll finish the solution.
