Fold the paper along the line. Fold the paper again so that the first fold is folded onto itself and such that the second fold goes through a specified point - if any. The second fold will represent a line that is perpendicular to the first and which passes through the specified point.
Perpendicular line segment
The paper folding technique involves folding a piece of paper so that a point lies directly above or below a line, creating a crease that represents the perpendicular line segment from the point to the line. By aligning the point with the line through the fold, the crease will intersect the line at a right angle, thus providing the shortest distance from the point to the line. This method visually demonstrates the concept of perpendicularity in a tangible way.
