The correct answer is 5.8 cm.
To find the length of Andy's original line segment, we need to divide the length of each piece he obtained by the line segment bisector, which is 2.9 cm, by 2.
Therefore, the length of Andy's original line segment is 2.9 cm * 2 = 5.8 cm.
So the correct answer is 5.8 cm.
