The segment midpoint divides a segment into 2 halves by definition.

By the Segment Addition Postulate, you can add two adjacent segments to get the total length of the segment.

Given that RS=14

That means that 14 is 1/2 if the total segment length, so we know that segment RT is also = to 14 to make the other half.

We have two lengths that are 14, so we simply add them together to find the total segment’s length.

14+14=28.

The total line segment is 28.
