cm
check answer remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

Step1: Bisect segment AB

When segment $\overline{AB}=16$ cm is bisected at point $O$, we get $\overline{AO}=\overline{BO}=\frac{16}{2}=8$ cm.

Step2: Bisect AO and BO

Since $\overline{AO} = 8$ cm and $\overline{BO}=8$ cm are bisected, each new - segment length is $\frac{8}{2}=4$ cm.
