Division by Folding (In Two)

Sometimes we need to use precise geometric operations to construct a shape or determine where a point should be. Sometimes the answer is as simple as folding a piece of string.

Scroll down to step through the instructions.

01. Start with a length of string or rope.

01. Fold the string in half and you have divided the length in two. Fold it again and you have divided the length into four.

How might you divide the length by 3?
