The length of RS is

Answer 1

Segment bisector = M

RS = 44

Explanation:

Segment bisector is the point that cuts a line segment into two equal halves. The two segments formed by the segment bisector are congruent, and have the same length.

The segment bisector of line segment RS shown above is M.

M cuts RS into two equal parts. This implies that RM = MS.

Since MS = 22, RM = 22.

Therefore, RS = RM + MS

RS = 22 + 22 = 44.
