Bisections means the division of something in two equal halves.

Any point that cuts the line in its midpoint can be considered a bisector.

If point M stands in the midpoint of line RS, then it is its bisector and following the definition, it divides it in two equal segments

RM=MS.

> the bisector of RS is M

Now since we know that

RS=RM+MS,

RM=MS

and that MS=22

You can calculate the length of RS

RS=RM+MS=22+22=44

>RS=44
