Question

melvin has a line segment on his paper. he wants to construct a line segment bisector using the paper folding method. he has forgotten the steps to complete this construction. help him by putting the following steps into the correct order.
option #1: use a straight edge to draw a line through the point you have created.
option #2: fold one endpoint of the line segment onto the other.
option #3: unfold the paper and label the intersection of the fold and the line segment with a point.
(2 points)
the first step is option #\square. the second step is option #\square. the third step is option #\square.
check answer remaining attempts : 3

Explanation:

Step1: Fold endpoints together

To bisect a line segment via folding, first fold one endpoint onto the other (Option #2). This creates the fold that will be the bisector's guide.

Step2: Unfold and label intersection

After folding, unfold the paper and label the intersection of the fold and the line segment (Option #3). This point is the midpoint.

Step3: Draw the bisector line

Finally, use a straight edge to draw a line through the labeled point (Option #1) to create the bisector.

Answer:

The first step is Option #2. The second step is Option #3. The third step is Option #1.
