If a point bisects a segment, each line is congruent. So if UT is 4.5 yards TU would be 4.5 yards as well. UV is 9 yards

Answer:

9 yards

Explanation:

We just have to remember that a bisection is when a point or a line cuts a segment in two segments that measure exactly the same, so if point T bisects UV that means that it cuts it in half, and if UT equals four and a half yards, that means that TV would measure exactly the same, so we just multiply uv by two so four and a half yards by two would be 9, so the segment UV would measure 9 yards.
