1. **Problem statement:** We have two triangles WTV and TSV sharing vertex V and side TV. Given WT = 10, ST = 20, TU = 44, and VW \parallel SU, we need to find the length TV.
2. **Key concept:** Since VW is parallel to SU, triangles WTV and TSV are similar by the AA (Angle-Angle) similarity criterion.
3. **Similarity ratio:** The ratio of corresponding sides WT to ST is \( \frac{WT}{ST} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2} \).
4. **Using similarity:** Corresponding sides TV and TU relate by the same ratio:
$$ \frac{TV}{TU} = \frac{WT}{ST} = \frac{1}{2} $$
5. **Calculate TV:**
$$ TV = \frac{1}{2} \times TU = \frac{1}{2} \times 44 = 22 $$
6. **Answer:** The length of TV is 22 units.
