Question

Which best describes a step in the process of using folding paper to bisect

?

A straight line spans from point A to point B
A.
Fold the paper such that point A and point B are next to one another.
B.
Fold the paper such that point A and point B coincide with one another.
C.
Fold the paper such that point A and point B are at right angles.
D.
Fold the paper such that point A and point B are on parallel lines.

Answer 1

The correct option that best describes a step in the process of using folding paper to bisect a straight line from point A to point B is:

B. Fold the paper such that point A and point B coincide with one another.

When bisecting a straight line using the folding paper method, the goal is to find the midpoint of the line. To achieve this, you fold the paper in such a way that point A and point B align perfectly or coincide with each other. This ensures that the fold line passes through the midpoint of the original line, thus bisecting it.
