Sp bisects RST.
RST = 5/2y
PST = Y+5

For Y I got: 3.33
So simplified I got
RST: 5.83
PST: 8.33

Am I right?
I feel like I am wrong.

Nvm 2.5 x 3.33 is 8.325 rounded 8.33
I accidently added instead of multiplied on RST.

If SP bisects RST, then PST is half of RST. Therefore:

Y+5 = (1/2)*(5/2)Y
Y+5 = (5/4)Y
5 = (5/4)Y - Y
5 = (1/4)Y
Y = 20

RST = (5/2)(20) = 50
PST = 25

Tf did you do lol?
So off.
Bisects mean they equal the same. So PST and RST have to be the same.
Thanks for the reply though, you made me realize my mistake!
