A segment is a chunk (segment) of memory that is 64Kb in size. Due to the design of the 8086/8088 there are 64K possible segments, ecah overlapping the next by 16 bytes, for a total addressibility of 1 Mb.
In the instruction model, a segment is the locus of addresses that can be reached in one instruction, without stopping to load a new value into a segment register. It is also called a near, or 16 bit address.

What theorem is used to prove a segment is a bisector?
A segment need not be a bisector. No theorem can be used to prove something that may not be true!
What is a line segment used for?
A line segment is often used in math to do geometry and other types of math. This is a part of a line which can be calculated and measured correctly in an equation.
What is the midpoint formula used for?
The midpoint formula is used to find the point that is in the middle of a segment.
Which type of construction is used to construct a triangle's point of balance?
Segment bisector
How do you make square root spiral by paper folding and paper cutting?
First of all draw a line segment that is about 2 cm long between two points P0 and P1. At the one of the outer points, draw another line that is at an angle of 90 degrees from the first line segment. This will cause the new line segment to stand straight on the first segment. Draw another line segment between the not used endpoint of the new line segment, let's call it P2, and the not used endpoint of the first line segment. This will create a triangle. Now on the P2 endpoint, draw another line segment that is again at 90 degrees angle. Repeat the previous steps and you will have created a root spiral.
