Solution

Sure, here are the steps to find a perpendicular line segment from a point to a line using the paper folding technique:

  1. Draw the given line on a piece of paper.
  2. Mark the given point (which is not on the line).
  3. Fold the paper so that the given point comes to lie on the given line.
  4. Crease the fold well.
  5. Unfold the paper. The crease line is the required perpendicular line from the given point to the given line.
  6. You can verify this by measuring the angle between the given line and the crease line. It should be 90 degrees.
