Question

question 9 of 10

you can find a parallel line to a given line using the paper folding technique.

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Analyze paper folding for parallel lines

To construct a line parallel to a given line \(l\) using paper folding:

1. Fold the paper so that the line \(l\) aligns onto itself. This crease creates a perpendicular line \(m\) to the original line \(l\).
2. Fold the paper again along a new crease that is perpendicular to the line \(m\) (by folding \(m\) onto itself).
3. Since two lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel to each other, this second crease is parallel to the original line \(l\).

Determine the truth value

Because a parallel line can be successfully constructed using these steps, the statement is true.

Answer:

• A. True (Correct answer)
• B. False
