alleryBesides the vertical and horizontal folds, which other folds of a square paper give matching halves?
AEither diagonal
BAny slanting line
CCorner to mid-side
DNo other folds
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Either diagonal
1. Folding a square along its vertical and horizontal midlines gives two lines of symmetry.
2. Folding along either diagonal also makes the halves overlap.
3. A slant or a corner to mid-side line does not, so a square has four lines in all.
