Some examples of origami being more efficient than tools of geometry in some activities include:
1. The perpendicular bisector of a line is readily found by creating the crease formed by placing one endpoint on the other, and folding. Note that all points on this line are the same distance from the selected end points.
2. A 30-degree and 60-degree angle can be constructed by two folds
3. 1/8th of the side of a square can be found in two folds.
4. 3/7th of the side of a square can be found in five folds.
Later we shall see how the use of folds in paper achieve three dimensional geometric shapes as well as constructions that could be very difficult to accomplish with traditional tools.
Before we start folding, here are some reminders on Safety.
