Question

Alexa drew AB on a piece of a paper, and then folded the paper so that Point A was on Point B. She claims the crease forms right angles with AB. In two or more complete sentences, explain why Alexa is correct.

Answer 1

you know the isosceles Triangle theorem?
There is a theorem that the line go through the mid point of the line, it is perpendicular with that Line ( notice that the line start at the point between 2 congruent line) when you folded the paper, it created 2 congruent lines and also created the midpoint between A and B

Answer 2

ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION:

Since the construction of a perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB using a method of paper folding is done in the following steps:

1. Draw a line segment AB on a piece of paper.
2. Fold the paper in such a way that Point A lie on point B.
3. This means that the crease so formed on the paper and passing through the line segment AB is the perpendicular line to the line segment AB.
4. Also, the point on the line segment where this crease touches the line segment is the mid-point of AB.
