Question 1091261: Draw an angle, angle ABC, on a sheet of paper. Fold the paper so that segment BA falls on segment BC. Lay the paper flat and call the fold line, line BK. How is segment BK related to angle ABC? Please explain. Thanks! Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
Fold the paper forward so that AB coincides with BC. That
means to fold it along the green line, but don't draw the
green line BK. Let it just be "drawn" by the crease in the
paper.
The answer is that the fold line BK (the green line in the
drawing above) will be the bisector of the angle ABC.
