The length of segment 7 (RT) is 33 cm.

Given that PQ is parallel to RS, and PT is parallel to ST, we can use the properties of parallel lines to find the length of segment 7 (RT).

Since PT is twice the length of PS (16 cm compared to 8 cm), then ST is also twice the length of RS.

The length of RS is given as 11 cm, so ST would be 2 * 11 cm = 22 cm.

Segment 7 (RT) is the sum of RS and ST:

RT = RS + ST

RT = 11 cm + 22 cm

RT = 33 cm

Therefore, the length of segment 7 (RT) is 33 cm.
