A sheet of paper with points A and B is folded so that A and B match up with each other. Explain why the crease in the sheet of paper is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB. (Assume the conjecture that the set of points equidistant from A and B is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB is true.)
