AB on her paper. She folded her paper so that point A was on top of point B. Then,
she unfolded her paper and labeled the intersection of the fold and the line segment with point C.
Finally, she used a straight edge to draw
↔
GF at an arbitrary angle through point C. What term best
describes
↔
GF?
(1 point)
line segment bisector
midpoint
perpendicular bisector
angle bisector

The term that best describes line \( \overleftrightarrow{GF} \) is **perpendicular bisector**.
When Mere folded the paper so that point A was on top of point B, the line segment AB was folded along a line that goes through the midpoint of AB, creating a perpendicular intersection at point C. Thus, any line drawn through point C that is perpendicular to AB would be referred to as the perpendicular bisector of segment AB.
