IN PAPER FOLDING. 87 161. If a figure has two axes of symmetry at right angles to each other, the point of intersection of the axes is a center of symmetry. This obtains in reg- ular polygons of an even number of sides and certain curves, such as the circle, ellipse, hyperbola, and the lemniscate;… … Fig 54- sides may have more axes than one, but no two of them will be at right angles to each other. If a sheet of paper is folded double and cut, we obtain a piece which has axial symmetry, and if it is cut fourfold, we obtain a piece which has central symmetry as well, as in Fig. 54.
