Answer 1

To construct a line segment bisector using the paper folding method, the correct order of steps is as follows:

The first step is Option #2: Fold one endpoint of the line segment onto the other. The second step is Option #3: Unfold the paper and label the intersection of the fold and the line segment with a point. The third step is Option #1: Use a straight edge to draw a line through the point you have created.

So, the final order is:

• The first step is Option #2.
• The second step is Option #3.
• The third step is Option #1.
