What kind of line is formed when a piece of paper is folded?

I am 17, and I'm homeschooled. I have a book from 1958 that's called "Plane Geometry, Welchons Krickenberger Pearson" It has no answers in the back of the book.

I found this question in the beginning of the book, and I tried asking my parents, and I researched it on the internet, and I came up with no solution.

1) I need to know what the Geometry question is asking.

2) What do I need to know to solve this problem.

I would really appreciate your help. This is my first time posting on here, I will look into the posting rules in depth today. It sort of sounds like what dimension is the line.

Thank you,

Sebastian

I suppose from common knowledge the book is trying to introduce some elementary concepts of straightness.

A straight line is formed when a piece of paper is folded. The new straight line forms along the fold with two parts of paper on either side of the fold or line.
