About This Quiz

Apparently, this topic is treated under mathematicians as the mathematics of paper folding focuses on using paper folding to solve problems and mathematical equations and demonstrate proofs of certain things. And recently, there have been a great deal of mathematical studies on how to fold pieces of paper. Its history dates back to the 17th century.

    Which set of equation do we use the paper fold for?  - ProProfs

    Which set of equation do we use the paper fold for? 

    • Integral equation

    • Mathematical equation

    • Research analysis

    • Infinitesimal equation

    Correct Answer
    A. Mathematical equation
    Explanation
    The paper fold method is commonly used to solve mathematical equations. By folding a piece of paper and using geometric constructions, it becomes possible to find the solution to certain types of equations. This technique is particularly useful for solving quadratic equations, as it allows for a visual representation of the problem and helps in understanding the roots of the equation. Therefore, the correct answer is Mathematical equation.

    In Kawasaki theorem, what is the sum of all odd angles?  - ProProfs

    In Kawasaki theorem, what is the sum of all odd angles? 

    • 90 degrees

    • 180 degrees

    • 270 degrees

    • 360 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 180 degrees
    Explanation
    The Kawasaki theorem states that in a triangle, the sum of the odd angles (angles opposite odd sides) is equal to 180 degrees. This means that if we add up all the odd angles in a triangle, the total will always be 180 degrees.

    Can a sheet penetrate a fold? - ProProfs

    Can a sheet penetrate a fold?

    • No

    • Yes

    • Only when it is evenly divided

    • Only when folded into a triangular shape

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    A sheet cannot penetrate a fold because by definition, a fold involves bending or creasing a material, which creates layers that are stacked on top of each other. Therefore, there is no space for the sheet to pass through the fold.

    Which of the following shows the construction of paper folding models?  - ProProfs

    Which of the following shows the construction of paper folding models? 

    • Multiple pattern

    • Single pattern

    • Mid-level surface

    • Crease pattern

    Correct Answer
    A. Crease pattern
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Crease pattern." A crease pattern is a diagram that shows the folding lines and creases required to construct a paper folding model. It is a visual representation of the steps needed to create the model, indicating where to fold and where to make creases. It serves as a guide for accurately folding the paper and achieving the desired shape or design.

    How do we identify map folding problems?  - ProProfs

    How do we identify map folding problems? 

    • When creases are in straight form

    • When there are single patterns

    • When the different shapes are formed

    • When creases are orthogonal

    Correct Answer
    A. When creases are orthogonal
    Explanation
    When creases are orthogonal, it means that they are at right angles to each other. In the context of map folding, this can be used as a way to identify folding problems. When creases are not orthogonal, it can indicate that the folding is incorrect or that the map is not folded properly. Orthogonal creases are important for creating neat and organized folds, ensuring that the map can be easily unfolded and read without any confusion or distortion.

    How many mathematical rules do we follow to produce flat-foldable patterns?  - ProProfs

    How many mathematical rules do we follow to produce flat-foldable patterns? 

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    To produce flat-foldable patterns, we follow three mathematical rules. These rules ensure that the pattern can be folded without any overlaps or gaps. By following these rules, we can create a flat-foldable pattern that can be easily folded into a three-dimensional shape.

  • 8. 
    Which of these is one of the rules used for producing flat-foldable patterns? - ProProfs

    Which of these is one of the rules used for producing flat-foldable patterns?

    • Makeriwk's theorem

    • Kovacic's theorem

    • Maekawa's theorem

    • Silva's theorem

    Correct Answer
    A. Maekawa's theorem
    Explanation
    Maekawa's theorem is one of the rules used for producing flat-foldable patterns. This theorem states that for a flat-foldable pattern, the sum of the number of edges, number of vertices, and number of faces minus the number of holes must equal 2. This theorem helps in determining whether a pattern can be folded flat without any overlaps or self-intersections.

    • Beloch Margharita

    • Humiaki Huzita

    • Jacques Justin

    • Justine Joaquin

    Correct Answer
    A. Justine Joaquin
    Explanation
    The question asks which scientist did NOT work on the model. The names provided are Beloch Margharita, Humiaki Huzita, Jacques Justin, and Justine Joaquin. Out of these names, Justine Joaquin is the only one who did NOT work on the model.
