Chapter 12.2, Problem 23E

To determine

To show: The relation between $m\text{ and }n$ .

Answer to Problem 23E

The relation between $m\text{ and }n$ is that $m\text{ and }n$ forms the median between two points of line $t$ . It divides the line $t$ symmetrically.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A line $t$ .

Since,

The two creases which is formed after coinciding the two points of line $t$ divides the line into two equal halves.

Therefore,

The relation between $m\text{ and }n$ is that $m\text{ and }n$ forms the median between two points of line $t$ . It divides the line $t$ symmetrically.

Hence, the relation between $m\text{ and }n$ is that $m\text{ and }n$ forms the median between two points of line $t$ . It divides the line $t$ symmetrically.
