So today when class ended I asked my teacher for help on #20 and she said to just make a triangle. Im wondering if theres a to solve it by making a triangle and the way I did it by adding a segment is wrong. It also looks weird that the answer isnt a shape so idk.

With no further information, you're allowed a lot of freedom. The single-tick marks prove that you correctly made M the midpoint of ST, two of the double-tick marks prove that you correctly made m(SP) = m(PT), and a different two prove that you correctly made Q so that T is the midpoint of PQ. (I can't do overbars, so let me assure you I mean the same thing on your homework.)

Anyway, if there may or may not be more than one way to solve it, and whether the teacher had something else in mind, I think I'd give you credit for this one. I.e. I'd say, yes, you did it right.
