don't think about the 15 feet part of this sentence, it doesn't matter how long the segment is. The definition of a segment bisector is a line or a ray or a segment that divides a line segment into two equal parts. The trick is using different parts of your brain, first think about what the question means and then you can use that to calculate the answer, in this case the bisector would divide the segment into two parts, each of them would be 7 1/2 feet long. You just need to break it down and apply the logic.

Any line (or segment of a line) can have a bisector: A segment bisector is a line, or a ray, or a segment that divides a line or a segment into two equal parts. The length of the line has nothing to do with the bisector. Therefore the bisector of a line that is 15 feet long would transect the line at 7.5 feet
