an alphabet book will have one letter on each page. eight pages will be printed on a single piece of paper.you fold the paper in half.then you fold it in half again and trim the edges. the eight pages appear in order. draw the layout for two sides of the large sheet from the letters a-h. explain why two layouts are possible
Take a piece of paper.
Fold it in half three times to get a pile of 8 pages. Write down the letters A-H on one side of each page. Unfold and you'll get the layout required.
If you now write on the other side of the sheet, you'll get another layout.
Note that the resulting sheet must be printed recto-verso (i.e. on both sides).
Sure! To draw the layout for two sides of the large sheet from the letters A-H, we need to consider the folding and trimming process.
First, let's lay out the eight letters (A to H) in order on one side of the large sheet as follows:
Side 1:
-------------
| A | B | C |
-------------
| D | E | F |
-------------
| G | H |
-------------
After that, we proceed with the folding and trimming:
1. Fold the paper in half vertically, bringing side 1 and side 2 together. This will create a crease down the middle of the page.
2. Next, fold the paper in half horizontally, folding the top half (A-F) over the bottom half (G-H). Another crease will be created.
Now, let's examine the layout on both sides of the folded sheet:
Side 1 (Front):
-------------
| G | H |
-------------
| D | E | F |
-------------
| A | B | C |
-------------
Side 2 (Back):
-------------
| B | C |
-------------
| E | F |
-------------
| G | H | D |
-------------
In this layout, Side 1 displays the letters in the original order (A-H), while Side 2 displays them in a different order (G-H-D-B-C-E-F).
The reason two layouts are possible is because of the folding process. By folding the sheet in different ways, we rearrange the placement of the letters on the pages.
It's important to note that while two layouts are possible, they are both valid and allow for the alphabet book to be assembled correctly.
