To find RS, subtract the length of ST from RT: RS = RT - ST. Given values result in RS = 48.

To find RS when given ST = 13 and RT = 61, we can use the fact that RS + ST = RT if the points R, S, and T are aligned in a straight line.

Therefore, RS = RT - ST.

Substituting the given values, we find RS = 61 - 13.

Thus, RS = 48.
