The last fold will be ineffective in making squares. If you fold a square in half it becomes two rectangles - one on top of the other. This "square" (pardon me, but the site doesn't do accurate 'drawing') shows the folding process. |--------------------------------|

Can a piece of square dry paper be folded more than 7 times in half?

No, a piece of square dry paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times due to the exponential increase in thickness and decrease in surface area with each fold. Each fold doubles the thickness of the paper, making it increasingly difficult to fold further. In practice, most people find that they can only fold a standard piece of paper about 6 to 7 times.

Why is the product of two perfect squares always a perfect square?

The product of two perfect squares is always a perfect square because a perfect square can be expressed as the square of an integer. If we take two perfect squares, say ( a^2 ) and ( b^2 ), their product can be written as ( a^2 \times b^2 = (a \times b)^2 ). Since ( a \times b ) is an integer, ( (a \times b)^2 ) is also a perfect square, confirming that the product of two perfect squares yields another perfect square.
