When a ruler measuring 1 foot (which is equivalent to 12 inches) is bisected, it is divided into two equal segments. To find the length of each segment, you would divide the total length by 2:

12 inches / 2 = 6 inches

Therefore, each segment of the bisected ruler is 6 inches long.

The correct response is:

6 inches
