Question

To locate the midpoint M of AB, how should you fold the piece of paper?

Answer 1

Answer:

a on top of b

Step-by-step explanation:

folding line in half not the paper

Answer 2

Answer:  Choice D

Fold the paper so that A is on top of B

Or vice versa

===========================================

Explanation:

M is the midpoint of segment AB.

This means that segments AM and MB are the same length, by definition of what it means to be a midpoint.

We have symmetry going on about point M. When we fold the paper, we're introducing symmetry. Point M will be on the folding line, and the folding line is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

It might help to use dark/heavy ink so that you can see the points on either side of the paper.
