Given two points p1 and p2, there is a unique fold that places p1 onto p2. Given two lines l1 and l2, there is a fold that places l1 onto l2. Given a point p1 and a line l1, there is a unique fold perpendicular to l1 that passes through point p1. Given two points p1 and p2 and a line l1, there is a fold that places p1 onto l1 and passes through p2. Given two points p1 and p2 and two lines l1 and l2, there is a fold that places p1 onto l1 and p2 onto l2. Given one point p and two lines l1 and l2, there is a fold that places p onto l1 and is perpendicular to l2.
** The 3 impossible geometric constructions (when using the Euclidean tools) are 1. Trisecting an angle. 2. Squaring the circle. 3. Doubling the cube. But this one is possible!
Q:
How can you divide a square into three equal pieces without measuring with a ruler?
The answer is
Many different ways, actually.
