The value of P is calculated with similar triangle to get P = 88

How to find the value of P

The value of P is solved using the provided information.

Since the figure is the midpoint the proportion to be used is as follows

UV / TW = 1 / 2

substituting the values

(P - 22) / (P - 55) = 2 / 1

cross multiplying

(P - 22) = 2(P - 55)

P - 22 = 2P - 110

-22 + 110 = 2P - P

P = 88
