fn this way, we find mid-point of line segment and pcrpcndicul:u bisecror of line segment.
By paper folding activity, students will be able to find rhe mid-point, perpendicular bisector of any line segment and
draw perpendicular from any point lying on or outside rhe line segment.

Construct a linear equation in rwo v2nables.
Let the number of pencils be x and number of pens bey.
According co the given situation, 60 = 2x + 4y.
Now we have co represent chis situation on rhe graph paper.
