Point T is the midpoint of RS, W is the midpoint of RT, Z is the midpoint of WS. If the legth of TZ is x, find the following lengths in terms of x (Hint: sketch a diagram and let y = WT)
(a) RW (b) ZS (c) RS (d) WZ

Can i pleazz have a drawing of it as well cuz i keep gettin confused...thnx lots..u really helped..

2x = y
(a) RW = y (since WT = y and WT=RW)
RW = 2x
(b) ZS = TS - x
TS = 2y (since RT=TS and half RW = y), y = 2x then 2y = 4x
ZS = 4x-x
ZS = 3x
(c) RS = 4y, 2y=4x then 4y = 8x
RS = 8x
(d) WZ = y + x, since y = 2x
WZ = 2x + x
WZ = 3x

r-- w-- t -z---s
we know that each was a 1/2 of the distance and the tz = x
a) 2 x
b) 3x
c) 8x
d) 3x

R--W--T-Z---S
a) RW = 2x
b) ZS = 3x
c) RS = 8x
d) WZ = 3x = ZS
