The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of bisecting a line segment \( PQ \) that measures 8 cm, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Length of the Line Segment**: We are given that the length of line segment \( PQ \) is 8 cm. 2. **Understanding Bisection**: To bisect a line segment means to divide it into two equal parts. 3. **Calculate the Length of Each Part**: Since the total length of \( PQ \) is 8 cm, we can find the length of each part by dividing the total length by 2: \[ \text{Length of each part} = \frac{\text{Total Length}}{2} = \frac{8 \text{ cm}}{2} = 4 \text{ cm} \] 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, when we bisect the line segment \( PQ \), each part will measure 4 cm. ### Final Answer: Each part of the bisected line segment \( PQ \) will be 4 cm long. ---
