Solve It!

1. Draw a line m on a sheet of paper.
2. Fold your paper so that line m falls on itself.
3. Label the fold line n.
4. Fold your paper again so that n falls on itself.
5. Label your new fold line p.
6. Take a picture of your paper and upload it to the canvas.

How are m and p related? How do you know?
