From the given graph, let's assume that a third of MK is measured to be 26.

A segment bisector cuts a segment into two equal parts. In other words, a segment bisector is in the middle of a segment.

As shown in the given graph, JK appears to be the Segment Bisector.

Let's determine the length of MN,

MK = KN

MK + KN = MN or 2MK = MN

1/3 MK = 26

MK = 26 x 3

MK =78

2MK = MN

2(78) = MN

156 = MN

MN = 156

Therefore, the measure of MN is 156.
