Answer:
ST = 17 and WY = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
3
SV is a perpendicular bisector and divides Δ RST into 2 congruent triangles with
ST = SR , that is
7x - 4 = 3x + 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
4x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )
4x = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 3
Then
ST = 7x - 4 = 7(3) - 4 = 21 - 4 = 17

Δ WXY and Δ WXZ are congruent ( both have 3 congruent angles ), then
WZ = WY , that is
9x - 13 = 6x + 2 ( subtract 6x from both sides )
3x - 13 = 2 ( add 13 to both sides )
3x = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 5
Then
WY = 6x + 2 = 6(5) + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32
