Question

Which action is not a step in using paper folding to find the midpoint of a line

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Draw a line from the segment to any point on the fold line.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using the paper folding method to find the midpoint of a line segment we take the following steps:

1. Draw a line segment on the tracing paper
2. Fold the tracing paper so that the endpoints lie on top of each other
3. Mark the intersection of the fold and the segment with a point

These steps include statements B, C, and D. Drawing a line from the segment to any point on the fold line, which is statement A,  is not included in these steps because it is not needed.

Thus, choice A is not a step in using paper folding to find the midpoint of a line segment.
