we can try

Answer 7

Alright, since the 2.25 line is shifted to the right, it's a transformation. Unless specified (Which it isn't in this case), this would NOT change the length of new line.

So basically WY = PQ = RS = ST

If I told you this, could you figure out the length of line PS?

Answer 8

not really no

Answer 9

Since WY is 2.25, that means PQ = 2.25, RS = 2.25 ST = 25. To get the length of PT, you would add those 3 numbers together

Answer 10
