  One day, a third-year pupil taught me how to fold an equilateral triangle from a square paper.

1. Fold the paper in half to make a rectangular.

2. Fold the rectangular in half  again, crease it and reopen.

3. Fold the upper right corner diagonally on its horizontal crease to make a right-angled triangle. Next, fold the lower left corner diagonally on its vertical crease as it is shown above.

4. Finally fold the lower right corner diagonally to make a triangle.

5. Turn it over the triangle, it is an equilateral triangle.

Why does the folded  shape become an equilateral triangle?
IMG_20210129_100124△1-2 s.jpg 
△ABD is a right-angled triangle.
AB : AD = 2 : 1
So, we can know.
∠BAD = 60° 
IMG_20210129_100132△1-1 s.jpg
∠EAB = (90° - 60°) ÷ 2 = 15°
∠FAC = ∠EAG = 15°
Now we can see △AEF.
AE = AF
∠EAF = 90° - 15° - 15° = 60°
Therefore,
△EAB is an equilateral triangle.

  After removing the dust of the harvested cotton, cotton gin is used to remove the seeds. A cotton gin is a machine to separate seeds and cotton. Two rollers are rotated by a handle to press cotton between them. Cotton's seeds cannot go through between them, and fall in front to them.
