    1) The document describes the steps to create an origami rabbit head model and proves that in the final right image, line EB is collinear with line EF and line EH is collinear with line DE. 2) It analyzes the folding steps, geometric properties, and symmetries of the origami piece to deduce that before one folding step, the piece was an isosceles right triangle. 3) Through considering angles, parallel lines, and symmetries in the final right image configuration, it proves that EB must be collinear with EF and EH must be collinear with DE.

    Prove:

    Proof:
    WeknowthatCEGisthecornerofthesquarepieceofpaperusedtomakethepiece,
    andassuch,mCEG=90.WealsoknowthatpointsIandKarefoldedoverlinesAHandAB,
    respectively,tobecoincidentwithpointE,asshowninthesecondimage.Inadditiontothis,we
    knowthatDFisparalleltoIK,andthatbeforeDFwasfoldedupwards,FIwascolinearwithEG
    andDKwascolinearwithCE.Moreover,weknowthatIliesonEGandKliesonCE,sowe
    alsoknowthatEGiscolinearwithEIandCEiscolinearwithEK.Finally,weknowthat,inthe
    rightimage,AEisthelineofsymmetryforthepiece,andthatitisperpendiculartoIK.

    WecandeducethatwhenDFwasfoldedupwards,IKwasthefoldline.Therefore,points
    DandFwerereflectedoverlineIK,andbyextension,FIandDKwerereflectedaswell.We
    knowthat,beforethisreflection,FIwascolinearwithEG,andbyextensionEI.Similarly,DK
    wascolinearwithCEandthusEK.Knowingthis,wecanrecreatewhatthepiecelookedlike
    beforeDFwasfoldedupwards:DK+EK=DEifDKandEKarecolinear,andFI+EI=EFinFI
    andEIarecolinear.So,therewerethreesegments:DE,EF,andDF.Theentirepiecewasa
    triangle.AEwasalsoreflectedoverIKwhenDFwasfoldedupwards,butsinceitis
    perpendiculartoIK,thereflectiondidnotchangetheline,andAEwasalineofsymmetryforthe
    piecethenaswell.Thus,sincemCEG=mDEF=90,andAEwasthelineofsymmetryfor
    thepiece,itwasanisoscelesrighttriangle,meaningthatmEDF=mDFE=45.
    NowconsiderthatsinceDKwasasegmentofDE,mEDF=mKDF=mKDC=
    45.Also,sinceFIwasasegmentofEF,mDFE=mDFI=mGFI=45.
    NowconsiderEIK.WeknowthatmCEG=90,andsinceIliesonEGandKlieson
    CE,mIEK=90.WealsoknowthatAEisthelineofsymmetryforEIK.Atriangleslineof
    symmetrymustbisecttheangleitintersects,somAEI=mAEK=90/2=45.SinceHlies
    onEIandBliesonEK,mAEH=mAEI=45,andmAEB=mAEK=45.
    Finally,fortheleftimage,weknowthatDF||IK.BecauseAIandAKaresegmentsof
    IK,DFisparalleltoAIandAK.Then,becauseCDandFGareparalleltoIK,theyarealso
    paralleltoAIandAK.So,itmightbesaidthatCD||AK||FG.
    Atthispoint,letsswitchourfocustotherightimage.Weknowthat
