Hi LiHJ. How would you justify saying PQ is half the length of SR?

Edit: the rest looks right, though you are a bit rough & ready with the geometry. PQRS shouldn't be designated using the Δ symbol! :)

 

[LiHJ]

Because the question mention that Q is the midpoint of OR and PQ is parallel to SR. So triangle OPQ is similar to triangle OSR. Therefore P is a midpoint of OS

Thank you;)
