Question

Find NQ if NP = 13 cm and line l is a segment bisector.

Answer 1

NQ = 26 cm

Explanation:

A line bisector divides a line into two equal segments.

Given that line l is the bisector of segment NQ, it then means it divides NQ into two equal segments, namely, segment NP and segment PQ.

Thus, NP = ½ of segment NQ

Therefore, if NP = 13 cm,

13 = ½*NQ

multiply both sides by 2

2*13 = NQ

26 = NQ

NQ = 26 cm
