Let x as the missing segment.

_________________________________

According to the Thales theorem :


(26)/(x) = (12)/(36) \\


(26)/(x) = (12)/(12 * 3) \\


(26)/(x) = (1)/(3) \\

Inverse both sides


(x)/(26) = (3)/(1) \\


(x)/(26) = 3 \\

Multiply sides by 26


26 * (x)/(26) = 26 * 3 \\


x = 26 * 3


x = 78

Thus the missing segment has a measure of 78 .
