GPT-4o mini · Answer

Since the line segment bisector divides the original line segment into two equal parts, and each part is 2.9 centimeters long, we can find the total length of the original line segment by multiplying the length of one piece by 2.

Original Length = 2.9 cm + 2.9 cm = 5.8 cm

Therefore, Andy's original line segment was 5.8 cm long.
