⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ and P on 𝑇𝑂
1. Segment SP has on it points T and O, with S on 𝑂𝑇 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ . OP is one meter longer than TO, and ST is 5 meters
longer than TO. If SP = 33 meters, what are the lengths of all of the segments?
ST = ______________
TO = _____________
OP = _____________
2. There is a segment whose collinear points go in order F, R, E, D. RE is 6 inches longer than ED, and FR is twice as long
as RE. If FD = 30 inches, how long are the segments?
FR = ____________
RE = ____________
ED = ____________
3. Point L is the midpoint SM. Point A is on LM. AM is 8 units longer than LA. If SM = 20 units, what is the length of SA?
4. A segment has collinear points S, T, E, and W. EW is twice as long as TE, and ST is three times as long as EW. If SW = 90
centimeters, what is the length of TW?
