Question

which statement describes a step in the construction of a perpendicular line that is not a perpendicular bisector using the folding paper method? (1 point) fold the paper to make a fold on the given segment. fold the paper so that the segment lines up and the endpoints also line up at the same spot. fold the paper so that the endpoint lands on the segment before the other endpoint. fold the paper so that the endpoint matches up with the other endpoint.

Explanation:

When constructing a perpendicular bisector using paper - folding, we fold the paper so that the endpoints of the segment line up at the same spot. To construct a perpendicular line that is not a perpendicular bisector, we want to create a fold such that one endpoint lands on the segment before the other endpoint. This way, the fold is perpendicular to the segment but does not bisect it. Folding the paper to make a fold on the given segment is too general. Folding the paper so that the segment lines up and endpoints line up at the same spot or endpoints match up with each other creates a perpendicular bisector.

Answer:

Fold the paper so that the endpoint lands on the segment before the other endpoint.
