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 andys original line segment? (1 point) o 1.45 cm o 5.8 cm o 2 cm o 2.9 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall line - segment bisector property

A line - segment bisector divides a line segment into two equal parts.

Step2: Calculate the length of the original segment

If each part is 2.9 cm long and there are 2 parts, then the length of the original segment is $2\times2.9$ cm.
$2\times2.9 = 5.8$ cm

Answer:

5.8 cm
