Question

andy was given a line segment. he constructed a line segment bisector of the line segment using the paper folding method. he was told that the line segment bisector divided his line segment into pieces that are each 2.9 centimeters long. how long was andy’s original line segment? (1 point) ○ 5.8 cm ○ 2.9 cm ○ 1.45 cm ○ 2 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Understand bisector effect

A bisector splits a segment into 2 equal parts.

Step2: Calculate original length

Each part is 2.9 cm, so original length = \( 2.9 \times 2 \)
\( 2.9 \times 2 = 5.8 \)

Answer:

5.8 cm
