Question

1. a sheet of paper is folded once and a piece is cut out as shown. which of the following looks like the unfolded paper? a. b. c. d. fold

Explanation:

Step1: Understand paper - folding principle

When paper is folded once and cut, the cut - out part will be symmetric about the fold line.

Step2: Analyze each option

Option A: When the folded paper with a cut is unfolded, the cut - out part will be symmetric about the fold line. The shape in option A correctly represents the unfolded state where the cut - out on the folded paper creates a symmetric shape on both sides of the fold line. Option B has only one cut - out on one side which is incorrect as there should be a symmetric cut on the other side too. Option C has a more complex and incorrect shape that does not match the single cut on the folded paper. Option D has a diamond - shaped cut - out which is not consistent with the given cut on the folded paper.

Answer:

A.
