Question

Lexi started with CD on her paper.
She folded her paper so that point C was on top of point D. Then, she unfolded her paper and labeled the intersection of the fold and the line segment with point E. She used a

In the scenario described, Lexi folded her paper so that point C was on top of point D, and point E is the point where the fold intersects the line segment CD. The line segment CR is drawn through points C and an arbitrary point R, and the line segment DR is drawn through points D and R.

The line segment that acts as the segment bisector in this scenario is the segment that divides the segment CD into two equal parts. Since E is the point where the fold intersects CD, and since the fold represents the line of symmetry, the segment CD is bisected at point E.

Therefore, the segment bisector in this case would be the line segment **OE**, where O is the midpoint of segment CD, as it is the segment that divides CD into two equal lengths. However, based on your provided options, it seems the closest appropriate choice that relates to the context of segment bisectors, given the options, is:

- **OCD** (i.e., the entire segment or line from C to D).

Since none of the options directly mention a bisector related to point E, this would imply the line segment CD itself is created as the original segment where the fold is applied, with points E being the midpoint or intersection point implied in your fold. But if you meant to inquire about segment DR or CR functioning as bisectors in a previous context, they wouldn't apply as the bisector for CD.

Therefore, it would make sense to affirm **OCD**—as the segment being the original, which is bisected at E. If **OR** meant point placement, it could indicate divided positions, but the best aligned answer would be from the simplest baited option.

In summary, I want to clarify that technically, **E** is the bisector point on the segment **CD** in a precise statement. Please confirm if you wanted that inferred or articulated further within options provided.
